Question: Councillor M. Baker
“To ask the Chief Executive to confirm if the green in Pear Tree Field off Carysfort
Downs, Blackrock, could be added to the grass cutting schedule? This estate was
taken in charge in 2005?”
Reply:
The normal process of taking in charge of public open space in housing
developments involves the transfer of these lands to the Council by way of Deed of
Dedication. The Deed of Dedication process affords future protection and
preservation of lands as public open space. The Developer has however, been
requested on a number of occasions to provide Deeds of Transfer for the public open
space at the above location. To date, they have not forwarded these documents and
we will continue to pursue them on the matter.
