MEETING OF CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Wednesday, March 15, 2017

MOTION NO. 2

MOTION: Councillor F. Timmons

"Given that there is no plan to build one bed accommodation in the Clondalkin area and given the huge need that planners look at available space and come back to area representatives with a proposal for one beds."

REPORT:

It is not accurate to say there is no plan to build one bed accommodation in Clondalkin.  While there are no one beds in the Council schemes approved for Letts Field, St Mark's and St Cutbert's, there is a CAS construction project approved for 10 one beds by Dublin Simon on the Old Nangor Road.

There are approximately 37 Part V units to be delivered North of the Naas Road this year and we will be seeking as many 1 bed units as possible in discussions with the developers.  Last year 8 such units became available and have been allocated to Council applicants.

In addition there is an estimated capacity for 1,000 residential units across the Kilcarbery/The Grange master plan site. The PPP will deliver 108 social units and 30%(376) of the remaining 892 units will be social. Of these social units it is estimated that 14% or 53 units will be one bedroom units.

With regards the remaining 624 private units, it is anticipated that a similar percentage of one bedroom units will apply.
