Can anyone advise the best approach to getting a developer to finish an estate ?
After 7 years, our estate still needs a final covering on the roads and is full of potholes at the entrance. The green areas also need maintenance, for which the residents have to raise money to hire a landscaper to cut the grass. The builder has repeatedly fobbed-off the residents with excuses, such as "i've no money".
This hasn't stopped him seeking planning permission for other developments in the area, though.
The residents have repeatedly complained to the Council (Meath) about the builder not sticking to the Planning Permission conditions. The council also appears to be 'broke' and reluctant to pursue the builder. Yet the Council will not take the estate in charge until the builder completes outstanding work. Catch22 !!
