The Land Development Agency (LDA) submitted a planning application in March 2022 with a total application site area of c.9.6 ha, on lands at the Central Mental Hospital, Dundrum, Dublin 14. It is estimated that this site has the potential to provide 977 social and affordable housing units.
As this site is currently at pre-development stage, the exact delivery potential will only be finalised as final plans are put in place and planning permission is secured. The LDA will have regard to Government policy, and all appropriate legislation, on the appropriate tenure mix for developments on public land, as well as the criteria for the operation of cost rental and affordable housing schemes.
