QUESTION NO. 3

QUESTION: Councillor W. Carey

To ask the Chief Executive what proportion of future house construction projects are likely to be of mixed tenure?

REPLY:

Mixed tenure/mixed income developments are a key characteristic of sustainable communities and recognised in Irish Housing Policy. Sustainable Communities should include the widest possible mix of tenure types and house/apartment sizes. Mixed tenure developments can include a combination of social, affordable purchase/ affordable sale and cost rental homes to reflect the income mix in our communities and will be a key strand of our housing delivery programme going forward. The following is a list of mixed tenure housing developments currently under construction/planned: 

1. Clonburris Phases 1, 2, 3, 4 and 5- Dublin 22
2. Killinarden Foothills- Dublin 24
3. Kilcarbery (Old School Site)- Dublin 22
4. Oldcastle Park- Dublin 22
5. Castlefield- Dublin 16
6. Rathcoole- Co. Dublin

In addition, the Council supports wider mixed tenure developments through Part V, Turnkey, Acquisitions, Affordable Purchase and support for CALF applications from Approved Housing Bodies.
