QUESTION NO. 28

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive for a report into how many homes the Clonburris and Adamstown SDZs are targeted to provide and how this compares with other local authorities ?

REPLY:

A key principle of both the Clonburris and Adamstown SDZ planning schemes is the provision of the balanced delivery of infrastructure, urban centres and community services in tandem with population growth in order to ensure sustainable communities and place making are prioritised. The targeted number of homes for delivery within both the Clonburris and Adamstown SDZs alongside the level of delivery as of Q3 2025 and the remaining homes to be delivered are:  

Adamstown SDZ: Target: 9,395 Homes – Delivered to Date: c5,100 – Remaining Homes to be delivered if hitting the target: c.4,214

Clonburris SDZ: Target: 9,416 Homes – Delivered to Date: c800 – Remaining Homes to be delivered if hitting the target: c.8,624

Please note that the Planning Schemes provide a range for homes and the target is the mid point.
