What department should be contacted in the council?
We have been told by our local councillors that there is no parks department and grass will not be cut. The majority of unmanaged estates in Meath are paying a fee to the residents association who then hire a gardener to cut the grass.
Will the council take over 2 phases of an estate that are complete a number of years now. There are other phases planned.
I would say too that you need to agreement of the majority of homeowners in the estate, not necessarily those on the electoral register, as this would include tenants, who shouldn't have any say over the management of the estate.
I checked it out again and I am 100% that you need the majority of people on the electoral register and the majority of people that live there.
If there are 200 people in the development and only 88 on the electoral register then you would need 45 signatures to request the local authority to take the development in charge.
Where did you check? I think it could be different when a management company is in place. To be honest this isn't a problem as the majority of residents want the estate taken in charge.
Yes some councils have a policy document that often needs updating but others don't or are resisting having to take over any estates by having stipulated management companies when granting planning application.
Here's an example of Monaghan County Council's policy:
Even when a management company wasn't stipulated in planning we have found that one was set up anyway by the developer in a standard housing estate.
