Update on Hampton Wood

This report is presented to the members for information purposes following a number of complaints and queries from public representatives and members of the public on water supply problems in Hampton Wood during the recent cold spell, associated water restrictions imposed by Dublin City Council and the roles of the Management Company/managing agent for Hampton Wood. Background: A seven year planning permission was granted to Bovale Developments on 23rd February 2004; planning application no. 4387/03 refers. Condition 30 of the permission states:‘as the City Council will not be taking the development in charge, the developer shall enter into a management agreement with all future owners and occupiers to carry out the maintenance and repair of all lands within the curtilage of the site. Such agreement shall cover roads, footpaths, car park and all services both over and underground, together with soft and hard landscaping excluding private areas, and shall make it clear that the City Council shall have no responsibility in these areas. The details of the above management scheme shall be submitted to the planning authority for written agreement prior to occupation of any of the dwellings.’ The developers have recently submitted an extension of time application for the permission. Water Restrictions: The recent cold spell necessitated water restrictions throughout the country. Dublin City Council introduced water restrictions from Tuesday December 7th 2010 that continued into January in order to conserve water and rebuild stocks of treated water. Specifically in relation to Hampton Wood, this resulted in a reduction of flow into the complex. However since the flow is going into a reservoir and the outlet from the reservoir to the properties was not restricted, usage continued as normal and the reservoir drained down.
