	224	Hansted	Lucan	McInerney 
	Construction
	Following the Council claim on the bond in 
	Oct 2011 and after lengthy interactions, the 
	bondholder advised in writing (March 2012) of
	 their intention to honour the bond and hired 
	agents to liaise with the Council on agreeing 
	the value of works subject of the claim. 
	Works commenced Jan 2013 and scheduled for
	completion by end-Sept as delays have 
	occurred due to flooding in attenuation tanks 
	and infiltration of foul and surface water 
	systems.
	Paralell to the works are a number of legal 
	issues being pursued to ensure taking in charge
	may progress after works are done, such as 
	obtaining wayleaves from the receiver for access
	to maintain certain services post-taking in 
	charge. The receiver has consented to the 
	wayleaves which are being mapped by the 
	Councils Building Control Section. This 
	estate is to be advertised for taking in charge in
	 Oct 2013

	252	The Paddocks	Lucan	Mapelwood 
	Homes Ltd
	A receiver, Paul McCann of Grant Thornton 
	has been appointed to control some assets of 
	Maplewood Developments. Initial discussions 
	identified Phase 1(Paddocks 
	Grove,Walk,Drive,Square,Way,Place, Crescent
	 and Road) as focus for taking in charge.  There
	 are also legal matters relating to  wayleaves for
	 some areas that will remain under Mgmt 
	Comp control particularly at Paddocks Place 
	and Square. A liquidator is also appointed 
	however and the Council are since working 
	with him and the receiver to identify all 
	required works to services which the receiver 
	will carry out. Taking in charge works are now
	 intended for Phases 1 and 2. 
	Both a liquidator and receiver are involved, 
	both parties are in dialogue as to preparing a 
	site resolution plan to bring the development 
	to taking in charge standard. The Council is 
	retaining security until the works are 
	completed and will be retaining the required 
	security related to the remaining parts of the 
	permitted development to be constructed. 
	Both parties have commenced CCTV review 
	and this will enable the process of scaling 
	and costing the works to bring services to 
	taking in charge standard. The actual CCTV 
	survey will take 2/3 weeks and defects will be 
	repaired thereafter. Once underground works are
	 completed the Council will then agree the 
	surface level requirements, this has started but 
	cannot be finalised until underground defects are
	 done.
