Mr. Sean Laffey:

The model in the past is as follows. The developer looked for planning permission. They got planning permission. They also got planning permission for an on-site wastewater treatment plant. They were licensed under section 4 of the pollution Act by the local authority. The mechanism was that a company would be set up. Every member of the estate would be a member of that company and they would contribute to the ongoing maintenance and upkeep of the wastewater treatment plant. As we have seen, a lot of companies went bust. People never contributed and the place fell apart.
