SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, September 24, 2013

QUESTION NO. 5

QUESTION: Councillor E. Tuffy

"To ask the Manager if he will advise the Committee on the current position in relation to the Taking-in-Charge of Rossberry Estate, Lucan?"

REPLY:

The Council are at present supervising the completion of works in that part of Rossberry built by Hollioake Ltd (In receivership) using funds sequestered from the developers security deposit.  The developer of the other part of Rossberry, Kingscroft Developments is in the process of completing works at Rossberry. Once completed in both cases, these works will bring services to taking in charge standard.

The Council intends advertising the taking in charge of the development during October 2013. The only reason it will not be advertised sooner is that in order to save advertising costs the Council will be including a number of other developments in the October taking in charge advertisement, and completion of works etc in those developments are ongoing presently.

The remaining enforcement case in relation to unauthorised walls will proceed even after taking in charge as advised to previous Area Committee meetings.
