The Taking in Charge document outlines Wicklow County Council’s policy in relation to taking in charge of private housing developments (developments of two or more houses).
For all private housing developments, the following elements of a development will be considered by the Council for taking in charge:
- Roads and footways
- Water mains
- Surface water sewers
- Foul sewers
- Open spaces
- Public lighting (taken in charge separately)
Liability and responsibility for the above elements of a development will remain with the developer until such time as Wicklow County Council has taken them in charge.
