Abbey Farm – Celbridge

I sought the most  up to date position in relation to taking Abbey Farm in charge.

I received the following report:   Building/Development Control Section has written to the developer of the Abbey Farm housing estate on numerous occasions in an effort to progress the taking in charge of the estate but he has not responded to date. We have formed the view that the only realistic option is to take the estate in charge at the request of the residents. We have also been in contact with the residents association and met with them on two occasions on 19/02/10 and 14/05/10. We are due to meet again in June. Prior to our next meeting we propose to carry out a CCTV survey of the public foul sewer to ascertain if there are any defects that require attention. We have already compiled a comprehensive list of surface defects within the estate. Once the results of the CCTV are know we will be in a position to prioritise the list of works required within the estate. We are currently reviewing our planning files to establish the level and status of the bonds provided. The amount of works that can be undertaken will be dependent on the amount of funds available. It is hoped to have the estate taken in charge by the end of 2010.

It is very disappointing that the developer will not engage with the Council because of this I have asked that if future planning applications are received from this developer that they are automatically refused on the basis that he has not completed this estate.
