MOTION NO.41

MOTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

H3 Objective 13 'or' Chapter 6 Housing SD-C-227 OPR CE Report pages 47-48 Amend H1 Objective 13 to add word "or" before third bullet point

REPORT:

The motion proposes that to amend H1 Objective 13 – as set out in the CE Response in relation to submission SD-C195-227 pages 47-48 of the CE Report – to add the word ‘or’ before the third bullet point.  

It is recommended in the CE Report pages 47-48 in response to the OPR submission SD-C-227 to amend H1 Objective 13 to read as follows:  

Proposals for residential shall provide a minimum of 30% 3-bedroom units, a lesser provision may be acceptable where it can be demonstrated that: 

• there are unique site constraints that would prevent such provision or 
• that the proposed housing mix meets the specific demand required in an area, having regard to the prevailing housing type within a 10-minute walk of the site and to the socioeconomic, population and housing data set out in the Housing Strategy and Interim HNDA; 
• the scheme is a social and/or affordable housing scheme

In respect to a separate issue raised in submissions SD-C195-229, SD-C195-207 SD-C195-140, SD-C195-133, the CE Response recommended that H1 Objective 13 be further amended as follows:  

H1 Objective 13 

Proposals for residential (excluding Build-to-Rent developments) shall provide a minimum of 30% 3-bedroom units, a lesser provision may be acceptable where it can be demonstrated that: 

• there are unique site constraints that would prevent such provision or
• that the proposed housing mix meets the specific demand required in an area, having regard to the prevailing housing type within a 10-minute walk of the site and to the socioeconomic, population and housing data set out in the Housing Strategy and Interim HNDA; or
• the scheme is a social and/or affordable housing scheme

This further amendment includes an ‘or’ after the second bullet point which addresses the issue raised in this motion.
