MOTION NO.

MOTION: Councillor M. Johansson

In Quality Design and Placemaking (5.2.8) to add a new objective QDP10 Objective 3: To recognise the urgent need for increased provision of social and affordable housing to ensure that all residents in South Dublin County have access to a home.

REPORT:

It is considered that the proposed objective outlined in this motion is more relevant to Chapter 6 Housing.

In Chapter 6 there are objectives relating to the provision of social and affordable housing such as H1 Objective 4 that states:

“H1 Objective 4: To provide for social and affordable housing accommodation through a range of delivery mechanisms including new builds, acquisitions, renovations and acquisitions of vacant homes, leasing, and housing supports including RAS and HAP or any other mechanism promoted under Government Housing Policy.”

It is recommended that the objective proposed in this motion be amalgamated with H1 Objective 4 with this objective to read as follows:

H1 Objective 4: To recognise the urgent need for the increased provision of social and affordable housing to ensure that all residents in South Dublin County have access to a home. Such provision shall be made to provide for social and affordable housing accommodation through a range of delivery mechanisms including new builds, acquisitions, renovations and acquisitions of vacant homes, leasing, and housing supports including RAS and HAP or any other mechanism promoted under Government Housing Policy.

Recommendation

It is recommended that this motion is adopted with amendment.

It is recommended that the proposed objective be amalgamated with H1 Objective 4 as follows:

H1 Objective 4: To recognise the urgent need for the increased provision of social and affordable housing to ensure that all residents in South Dublin County have access to a home.
