There are more than 1,800 unadopted housing developments across Northern Ireland .

Housing developments are defined as being unadopt when the roads or sewers are not maintained by the government.

Developers are required to put down a deposit to fund repairs.

But the value of the bond is not enough to cover the cost of repair works needed to bring it to an adoptable standard.

Fermanagh and South Tyrone MLA has firsthand experience of the issue as she lives in a housing development that is unadopted.

DfI said it is developing new enforcement guidelines to deal with developers that "have not fulfilled their responsibility to provide infrastructure to an adoptable standard".
