Housing tenure
Observation
H1 Objective 2: To require that 20% of lands zoned for residential use, or for a mixture of residential and other uses for development of 5 or more units or development of units on land greater than 0.1 hectares (or relevant figures as may be revised by legislation) be reserved for social and affordable housing in accordance with the Affordable Housing Act 2021 and the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended).
Comment: In addition to the statutory 20% social and affordable it should be considered that the LPF area has a lower than average percentage of social housing and as such the social housing could be increased to minimum 50%.
CHE13 Objective 1: To support the provision of a mix of tenure types within Clondalkin LPF in creating suitable accommodation for all in promoting sustainable and mixed income communities and discourage an over proliferation of a single tenure (whether private owner occupier, private rental, social rental or affordable purchase and rental) within any local area (within a 10-minute walking distance) in line with the Housing Strategy and Interim HNDA of the South Dublin County Development Plan.
Comment: Considering the lower than average number of social housing in the LPF area the provision of social housing should be prioritised.
