SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

MEETING OF LUCAN / PALMERSTOWN / NORTH CLONDALKIN AREA COMMITTEE

Tuesday, May 24, 2022

QUESTION NO. 2

QUESTION: Councillor L. O'Toole

This committees ask that Chief Executive confirms what is deemed open for consideration in Part V planning applications. At last months meeting a discussion on providing opportunities to build IL into Lucan area are challenging and it would appear now that we are heavily reliant on designing IL into Part v as a way of providing IL for the area. This question seeks clarification on whether IL can be part of a Part V.

REPLY:

The Council are engaging with developers at early stage planning with a request for inclusion of universal designed units. Each development will be considered on a case by case basis and where feasible units will be delivered with adapted features suitable for independent living. A briefing document is being developed by the Council's Architects Department which will be provided to Developers and also used within the Council's own build programme to delivery universal/specially adapted units within areas of need throughout the county.  In addition SDCC is open to consider any proposed independent living developments by AHB's and Developers in the electoral area.
