CPHA refuses to disclose name of developer

Feb 08, 2009 News

It is now approximately five months since the residents of Subryanville have been trying to get to the bottom of the situation as it relates to the construction of a proposed three-storey commercial building in the area, and to date no progress has been made.

Frustration has reached to the level where the residents are now in the process of filing an injunction to stop the construction, but against whom this injunction will be filed the residents do not know.

Kaieteur News has been trying to find out who really is the developer of this land, but this undertaking has been without success, as officials at the Central Planning and Housing Authority (CPHA) have refused to disclose the identity of the person.

Chief Development Planner of the CPHA, Rawle Edinboro, said that he was instructed by the secretary of the board of the CPHA not to discuss the matter with the media.

Edinboro added that he finds it surprising that the media have been following the story for so long and until now they have not been able to acquire the name of the developer.

Meanwhile, Kaieteur News understands that the injunction by the residents is still in progress, but they are having difficulty in sourcing the name of the developer who is constructing the commercial establishment.

The commercial establishment was initially planned to house a hardware store and a restaurant and bar, much to the disagreement of the residents.

However, residents told this newspaper that they were informed that the building will now house a diner along with a restaurant and bar.

Last October, when the issue was highlighted over the illegal construction, officials from the CPHA had halted construction of the building, requesting that the developer reduce the size of the building, that it be positioned centrally at the site, with ingress and egress from Sheriff Street, that provision be made for on-site parking on the southern and northern sides of the site, as this is consistent with the requirements of the Greater Georgetown Development Plan.
