MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

MOTION NO. 73

MOTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin

Delete the text of H1 Objective 3 on p23 and replace with the following:

H1 Objective 3:

To promote social integration within housing developments through the facilitation of greater income mix within housing developments, including social housing developments.

REPORT:

The Draft Development Plan includes a 15% social housing requirements under Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) for all sites that are zoned for residential development or a mix of uses that would include residential development. All areas of the County where new private housing development takes place will therefore be subject to the Part V requirement. This requirement has been drawn up on the basis of the Interim Housing Strategy as contained in Schedule 3 of the written statement, which includes a range of mechanisms to ensure that housing is available for persons who have different levels of income.

The allocation of housing stock is, however, beyond the strategic land use scope of the County Development Plan including the management of income mix.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
