QUESTION NO.5

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive for a detailed report into Sallymills development. To include what the delays are, how many applied, how many were successful and when the people will get their keys?

REPLY:

The Sallymills Development was substantially complete in December 2022 however utility connections and some landscaping works were required to be undertaken.  Cluid, Approved Housing Body have reported that a substantial claim for increased costs has been received from the Developer and they are currently negotiating with the Developer to resolve, with the units then being handed over for occupation. It is anticipated that resolution to this issue should be achieved within the next 4-6 weeks.

The units at Sallymills have been assigned to the relevant sections for nominations by Housing Allocations. Potential tenants have been identified from our homeless list, medical, rightsizing as well as a potential tenant from the private financial contribution scheme. File checks are underway and nominations are currently being forwarded to the Approved Housing Body to commence the interviewing of potential tenants.
