Hi! Our estate was built about 16 years ago and has never been taken "in charge" by our local town council and is still under the "charge" of the developer. We have requested our Town Council to take us in charge on numerous occasions to no avail. It has never been a big issue before but things have changed. The Developer is now selling one of our small green areas to another person (not living in the estate) subject to planning permission being granted. The buyer is proposing to build a house in similar design to the rest of the estate. Planning has been lodged and further information requested which is not a good sign for us - we had hoped that it would be refused straight off. 14 objections lodged but we are not optimistic about the application being refused. Can this really happen. Seems to unfair to us given that we have maintained this green area ourselves for the past 16yrs and the only assistance the original developer gave us was his 90euro per year as residents assoc contribution. By the way the person buying the land is proposing to sell the house. He does not intend to live in it so it is only for speculative purposes that he is building.
