QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive for a report into how many 4 bed council houses are planned for this council term and how many are on the 4 bed list by area ?

REPLY:

There are currently 164 households on the Housing List in need of four-bedroom accommodation with 87 having a first preference for the area north of the Naas Road and 77 with a first preference for the area south of the Naas Road.

There are currently 10 four-bed homes due to be delivered in 2021, 8 through AHB new build and a further two acquisitions of second-hand properties.  10 more four-bedroom homes are also included in our 2021 long-term leasing pipeline subject to final agreement and approvals.

From 2022 onwards 20 four-bedroom social homes will be delivered in the Kilcarbery development while further four-bedroom homes are planned for developments in Killinarden, Clonburris & Rathcoole subject to the approval of the Elected Members and planning approval.  In additional, a range of further potential opportunities to deliver additional four-bedroom homes throughout the remaining term of this Council are currently being examined and progressed through build, Part V, leasing and acquisition.
