QUESTION NO.18

QUESTION: Councillor B. Lawlor

To ask the Chief Executive for an update on the installation of public lighting in Dodderbrook and Ballycullen Green given the physical layouts of both Dodderbrook Phase 2 and Ballycullen Green were substantially different to those originally agreed and if he will make a statement on the matter?

REPLY:

Caprani Developers submitted designs for approval in the usual manner for both these developments in 2016/2017 and those submissions were approved for installation. When an electrical inspection was requested by the developer to be carried out by the Public Lighting (P.L.) Department in the summer of 2018, it was found that the installed schemes were not similar to the approved schemes.

Public Lighting Section requested that the new (installed) designs be resubmitted for approval.

  1. Dodderbrook Phase 2 - the PL Section received the new drawings and associated calculations at end of June 2019 and they were duly approved. The inspection process has since commenced, and PL expect that the scheme will be connected by ESB Networks in 6 - 8 weeks time.
  2. Ballycullen Green - PL have not received any new drawings to date for approval. PL have made contact with the designer and developer and are still awaiting submission of same.
