Based on the recommendations of the ISPCCC this Council agrees that provision is made by South Dublin County Council to grant free access to its local sports and leisure facilities such as swimming pools, to families who are homeless. Access to such activities can provide both physical and mental stimulation and offers families the opportunity to participate together outside of their limited homeless accommodation.
A number of amendments were made to Part V by the Urban Regeneration and Housing Act 2015 including that the local authority has the discretion to decide what percentage of a development must be reserved for social housing but this is subject to a cap of 10% of the development.
Prior to the 2015 Act, the cap was higher at 20%. The cap was reduced to take account of the change in the economic climate since Part V obligations were first enforced.
This Council calls on the Minister for Housing Eoghan Murphy to immediately raise the cap back to 20% to increase the social housing and affordable housing yield giving the current housing crisis.
