Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 22 November 2016
250. Deputy Richard Boyd Barrett asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government if he will ensure that the delivery of the Part V requirement at the Cherrywood SDZ is front loaded in order that a minimum of 800 council managed and owned units will be delivered in the first tranche of 2,000 homes due; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Amharc ar fhreagraAs the Deputy will be aware, the phased and sequential development of the overall Cherrywood Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) is set out in the Planning Scheme approved by An Bord Pleanála.
Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, will apply to each individual application or applications for permission for housing in the Cherrywood SDZ by a variety of landowners and housing providers relating to the relevant phases and sequencing of development permitted under the Planning Scheme, in the same way as Part V applies generally to applications for housing on land which is zoned for residential use or for a mix of residential and other use(s).
Front-loading of Part V requirements for the overall site would mean reserving all of the initial phase or phases of development for social housing which would not be in accordance with the provisions of Part V of the Act or the Planning Scheme.
