Based on returns made to my Department, 35 City, County and Borough Councils, as listed below, have a policy on taking in charge of estates, virtually all of which contain a protocol on the steps for the taking an estate in charge, as requested by my Department in Circular Letter PD 1/08 on Taking in Charge of Residential Developments/Management Arrangements. My Department is following up with the outstanding City, County and Borough Councils who either have yet to make a return or have stated that they have yet to prepare a taking in charge policy.
