Report for taking in charge of Liffey Hall estate
The committee considered the following question in the name of Councillor Nolan:
Can I have an up to date report for the taking in charge of Liffey Hall estate, Newbridge?
The meetings administrator read a report from the planning department dated 17 October
2012 stating that Kildare County Council had called in the bond and are in the early stages
of negotiations with the bond provider. A number of issues had arisen regarding the sewage
disposal system and public lighting in the estate. It would be prudent to investigate these
issues to ascertain whether or not remedial works are required and whether these works
can be funded from the bond. To this end development control staff are liaising with the
bond provider. When it has been agreed with the bond provider how to proceed, the council
will then be in a position to commence the formal taking in charge process based on either
the request to take the estate in charge received from the residents earlier this year or a
similar request from the developer/ receivers or the bond provider.
The report was noted.
