Dáil Éireann Debate, Wednesday - 21 April 2021
723. Deputy Róisín Shortall asked the Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage further to Parliamentary Question Nos. 138 of 9 September 2020 and 334 of 13 January 2021, when final sanction for a small scale infill social housing development (details supplied) in Dublin 11 will be approved; the reason for the long delay; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [19029/21]
View answerStage 1 and 2 approval was issued by my Department in January 2021 for the construction of 6 three-bedroom dwellings for older persons at Berryfield Drive, Finglas.
In March 2021, Dublin City Council advised my Department that the design of this development has since changed to 10 units, made up of a combination of 1 and 2 bedroom units. The Approved Housing Bodies concerned will be seeking planning permission for the revised design and a revised Stage 2 application is expected from the Council in due course.
Final sanction will be considered by my Department at Stage 4 Post-tender when the final costs are available from the tender report.
