The developer of our estate has a list of works outstanding for about 7 years now, and steadfastly refuses to complete any of them. The Council are not yet in a position to take the estate in charge until the works are completed as per the original planning permission.
The Coumcil have issued Enforcement Orders against him but seem incapable of going any further. The developer always has an excuse to get out of doing any work, which the council appear to accept at face value.
The Developer appears to have a few friends in the council and so we have no confidence that they will take the next step ie bring him to court and force him to complete the works.
The residents assoc are very frustrated with this saga and are now talking about taking a private case against him. We know little about whats involved in doing this eg the process, costs, pitfalls etc ... so any advice much appreciated
