MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, February 26, 2013

QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

"To ask the Manager to provide a further report on the taking-in-charge of open space at each of Griffeen Glen Courtyard/Boulevard and Rossberry/Tullyhall/Haydens Park access road, including details of any contact with the developers and/or solicitors since the January meeting?"

REPLY:

The following reply was provided at the January Lucan ACM meeting:

Documents in relation to the Deed of Transfer for both areas have been received from the relevant developers. 

All of the documentation in relation to Griffeen Glen Courtyard has now been received and is currently being processed through the Council’s Development and Law Departments.

In the case of Rossberry/Tullyhall the Council is still awaiting some of the required 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 order to expedite this process the Council has also recently (January 2013) made contact with the receiver for the Developer firm.

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.

Since the meeting the Council has been in contact with both the Receiver for the developer firm for Rossberry as well as the Solicitor firm representing the Receiver.  The Council will continue to follow up on the matter with the developer and the current representatives for the developer’s interests in Rossberry.
