QUESTION NO. 12

QUESTION: Councillor K. Egan

"According to people who have bought homes off the plans at the Alanna Homes Development 'Conerpark' on the Peamount Road in Newcastle, the delay with the Irish Water connection for their homes is that SDCC will not guarantee the property rights of an adjoining landowner over whose land a wayleave for the water connection is necessary.  Is this the case that SDCC are causing the delay with the people moving into Corner Park?"

REPLY:

There were a number of Developer and Irish Water issues that needed to be resolved, which lay outside of SDCC control.  These have all been resolved and we are nearing the point where a connection can be made.

I have been informed that the Irish Water works orders are completed in the last couple of days. (This is an approval to proceed by Irish Water).  A Road opening licence application has been received by SDCC to carry out works in the Public Realm. This Road Opening Licence has been processed by SDCC on the 14/10/2021.  I believe that the work on the connection can now be completed.  SDCC were in no way responsible for any delay in this connection.
