	627	Ballynakelly/Lyons/Burgage	Newcastle	Maplewood 
	Developments(In
	The Council holds a significant security in 	 receivership)
	respect of the development which cannot be 
	accessed by the Council unless services are 
	taken in charge. The fact that permissions are 
	live limits Councils enforcement powers at 
	present. However the Council, in conjunction 
	with the liquidator and receiver to Maplewood 
	Developments have agreed a resolution plan to 
	fund taking in charge of works (from said 
	security) on an incremental basis when a full 
	programme of completion works are agreed and
	as they are carried out.
	As an initial step, the receiver has carried out 
	works to remediate former builders compound 
	and to enclose same.
	In respect of the broader taking in charge of 
	services, the Council has brought relevant 
	parties together and the liquidator and receiver 
	have agreed to and appointed a consultant to 
	manage the taking in charge process. CCTV of
	all underground services was completed in 
	Dec 2013 and a report on defects pending. The 
	consultant will then initiate a tender process for
	all taking in charge works and works should 
	commence during summer 2014 following 
	appointment of his contractors. The Council 
	has sought a commencement date.
	The Parks Section has had a number of 
	meetings with the receivers appointed 
	landscape consultant on open space completion
	(including the park) throughout the 
	development. The landscape consultant 
	engaged is that which the developer employed 
	previously and this is positive from the point 
	of view of continuity. The Parks Section are 
	awaiting submission of a plan for the park 
	following their engagement to date. Works 
	commenced on the 11th of August 2014.

	sale of the remaining units. The update from 
	building control is that there is no sign of any

	A bond claim was lodged on the 15.10.12 	tnership
	and following threatened legal action on the 
	bank for failure to comply with the bond, the 
	developer agreed a schedule of works with the 
	Council that is being implemented. The bank 
	has also extended the bond while the works are
	being completed. The developer is presently 
	completing works to drainage, landscaping & 
	protected structures. Reports on water and soil
	sampling due to potential pollution issues on 
	site are due from the developer. The developer 
	is also presently completing remediation to the
	original entrance due to previous storm/flood 
	damage. The completion of the works to the 
	park at rear of the development and to the 
	protected structures are weather dependent as 
	the site contains many water courses. As of the
