Pre-planning Design for Mixed Tenure Housing at Kilcarberry

REPLY:

Our Housing Delivery Action Plan 2022-2026 sets out our projected delivery of new build social and affordable purchase homes over the next 5 years. The County Development Plan 2022-2028 aligns with national policy to plan for a more diverse and socially inclusive society to improve integration and greater accessibility of sustainable communities.  Our CDP also includes a high-level objective to ensure that LA lands zoned RES/RES N are used to develop housing that is used exclusively for the delivery of social, affordable purchase and cost rental homes. The SDCC owned lands at Kilcarberry, which were originally master planned to provide a school site as part of the overall development, provide an opportunity to deliver a mixed tenure development which can provide homes for those in need of support.  

The site is approximately 2 hectares, is Council owned and zoned residential. The site has capacity to deliver approximately 88 units and the tenure mix proposed is 80% affordable and 20% social and will consist of two and three storey houses and duplexes.
