ITEM NO. 45
TAKING IN CHARGE – GOLDENRIDGE ESTATE, RUSH
Motion: Councillor B. Dennehy
"This committee calls upon the Chief Executive to provide an update
report on the progress of achieving the request to take in charge
previously submitted by the developer of Golden Ridge Estate, Rush
bearing in mind the regular issues raised from the estate such as
rubbish piled up at Golden Ridge Close, several public lights out of
action in Golden Ridge Walk and Golden Ridge Square and the
delivery of six acres of green space north of St Catherines Rush."
Report:
The Developer is still working with the Built Environment Inspectorate to
rectify all outstanding works that have been highlighted to them and they
have completed most of the works. The Council will re-survey the public
lighting and send an updated list to the Developer. The CCTV survey was
carried out and pipe network repairs carried out. A report of these works
was submitted to the Council for their review. Minor items still need to be
completed.
Completion of the Taking in Charge process will be subject to Irish water
approval to take the watermains and foul drainage systems in charge. The
temporary sewage tanks and ancillary systems must be removed
from the development site prior to the Golden Ridge development
being taken in charge.
Efforts are underway with the Developer to address the outstanding
planning requirements for the delivery of 6 acres of green space north of
St. Catherine’s Rush, however, the delivery of outstanding open space is
not yet complete.
