QUESTION NO 1

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Manager for a further detailed update on the taking-in-charge of open spaces at Griffeen Glen Courtyard & Boulevard and along the access road to Rossberry/Tullyhall/Haydens Park?"

REPLY:

The following reply was presented to the Lucan Area Committee Meeting on the 27th November 2012:

Documents in relation to the Deed of Transfer for both areas have been received from the relevant developers.  The Griffeen Glen Courtyard material is currently being processed through the Council’s Development and Law Departments.

In the case of the Rossberry/Tullyhall area the solicitors acting for the developer have been requested to supply additional material in order for the processing of the Deed of Transfer to take place and it is expected that these will be provided shortly.  

In the case of Rossberry/Tullyhall the Council is still awaiting the necessary documentation, has been in correspondence with the respective developer representatives and has stressed the need for these matters to be addressed as a matter of urgency.

In the case of the Griffeen Glen Courtyard the documents supplied by the Developer representatives is deficient in some documents and these items have been requested by the Council to be forwarded as soon as possible.

In relation to a date for the completion of the transfer of the lands to the Council the sooner that all of the required documentation has been supplied by the developer representatives the sooner the matter can be brought to a conclusion.  However, it should be stressed that even when all of the documentation has been received there is often a long time period in which the processing of the material takes place and this process involves, inter alia, legal and land registry processing.  The Council has been proactive in following up with the respective developers and will continue to do so.
