Conditions attached to planning permissions for residential development must require the giving of sufficient security prior to commencement of development. The form of the bond, the amount and the terms attached are matters for the planning authority concerned and the arrangement entered into must enable the planning authority, without cost to itself, to complete the necessary services (including roads, footpaths, water mains, sewers, lighting and open space) to a satisfactory standard in the event of default by the developer. While my Department is preparing revised guidelines on bonds for issue shortly, I do not propose to collect information on bond s held by each of the local authorities. Such information may be obtained from the authorities directly.
