In line with the development management guidelines issued in June 2007 and updated in February 2008, there was also a request sent to local authorities that they submit to the Department all estates taken in charge and all of the requests for estates to be taken in charge and the reasons they have not been taken in charge. The findings of that will be issued shortly and that will enlighten this House and the public of what has been happening in the local authority system.
