QUESTION NO. 24

QUESTION: Councillor J. Sinnott

To ask the Chief Executive if developers are required to indicate to the Council during the planning process that a proposal for a development (non apartment) will have a private management structure in place?

REPLY:

Question 23 of the SDCC planning application form (regarding Supplementary Information) requests the applicant to specify whether the subject development is to be taken in charge or managed by a company, or a mix of the two as follows: 

  1. Be Taken in Charge by the County Council    
  2. Be maintained by an Estate Management Company     
  3. In part be Taken in Charge and part maintained by an Estate Management Company

In the case of the proposal being maintained by an Estate Management Company, or in part Taken in Charge and part maintained by an Estate Management Company, the application form indicates that particulars submitted should include a Site Layout drawing that clearly indicates the services within the estate/development (Roads, Footpaths, Car Parking Spaces, Foul/Surface Water Sewers, Watermain and Open Spaces) that would be maintained by the Estate Management Company.
