Millers Crest Portlaoise

hugovtm

I moved to Rockview Grove two days ago, and so far it's been fantastic, there's nothing to complain about, either inside or out, and everything works wonderfully...The neighbourhood is really tranquil, which has really pleased us! 
As for social housing, I don't see it as a concern… if the concern is about increasing bad behaviour, mean people and drugs exist everywhere, regardless of socioeconomic status or other factors. 

I will try to share additional experiences as time goes.

Is there creches around that area

Someone else will know better about existing Creches, but just replying to say there is currently planning permission for a Creche within the estate. They put in an application to change it to 2 or 3 houses instead and it got rejected last month so it will likely go ahead as a Creche.

As far as I can see on Laois planning permission the houses have got the go ahead on a second application and there will be no crèche which isn't a bad complaint as traffic will be reduced compared to if it was there. There are plenty of crèches within close proximity so nothing to be concerned about in terms of services.

Do you have a link handy for that @Gerard081, from what I can see it was refused in February and can’t see a second attempt. Could be missing something though.

Don’t mind too much either way but would be nice to know.

@StikVista you are correct in this case. There are so many of these planning applications under the same account it’s hard to keep track. But certainly you are right on this matter.

Hi all
Hope you guys are keeping well!

My wife and I have booked a house in Rockview Rise and given the booking deposit.

Our solicitor received the contract and sent below concern:

'The financial conditions in the planning permission:

A waiver is currently in place however if the development is not completed on time, the conditions become payable again. As a purchaser this is a risk for you and indeed the other owners and they are substantial. I requested an undertaking from them to confirm they will be paid in the future if they become payable but it is refused. Are you happy to proceed notwithstanding this potential risk?'

Has anyone else's Solicitor flagged the same to them and if so would you mind helping me understand what exactly this means?

I've been trying to find answers on the internet and this is the best forum I could find.

Thanks in advance!

Hi @Rajatagrawal , this is the first we've heard of this waiver. Fortunately we have already moved into Millers Crest over 2 months ago. Can you give any more details on the meaning of this waiver?

We are viewing a house there tomorrow. Any feedback about the neighborhood, construction quality, safety, supermarkets near by, connectivity would be highly appreciated. We plan to commute to Dublin once a week for work.
