MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

QUESTION NO. 25

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive how many houses/apartments are expected to be provided from 2019 – 2024 (the term of the current Council) - broken down by type i.e. part Vs, construction etc. ?

REPLY:

1,048 newly built social homes were provided in the County during the period 2019 to 2021 through the Council's construction programme, Approved Housing Body (AHB) projects and homes delivered through Part V.   A further 1,742 further new build social homes are currently projected for delivery between 2022 and 2024 under the County's draft five-year Housing Delivery Action Plan 2022-2026 as part of the national housing policy, Housing for All which seeks to significantly increase delivery of new build housing.  The Council will continue to work with AHBs and the private sector to acheive projected outturns in the coming years including the objective of up to 50% of new build being delivered by AHBs.  In addition, it should be noted that Part V projections are contingent upon private sector delivery of approved and proposed planning permissions in the County.

The breakdown of new build social housing provided during 2019-2021 and planned for delivery during 2022-2024 is as follows:

New Build Social Housing	Council/AHB	Part V	Total
Delivered 2019-2021	697	351	1,048
Projected 2022-2024	1,266	476	1,742
