Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Apr 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...housing will be delivered in Dún Laoghaire were published in the past day or two and it is negligible. I think it was about 90 affordable houses in the next two or three years and around 150 cost-rental properties. It is better than nothing but it is a hell of a lot less than is needed when average house prices in the area are now well in excess of €600,000 and houses in...

Darragh O'Brien: ...investing in social housing. I came from the Hole in the Wall Road development this morning and noted that the quality of the apartments built there is exceptional. There will be about 150 cost-rental units and about 250 social units in this brilliant development. We discussed the term "undue" in the context of amendment No. 896. The provision is from the 2000 Act, so it is very...

Eoin Ó Broin: ...bodies from private developers. Just about 8,000 of those were homes that went into the owner-occupier market for people to buy from estate agents. Again, just over 8,000 went into the private rental market. Even though we are meant to be seeing 11,500 homes for purchase each year and I think 6,000 homes for rental coming on stream according to the Government's housing plan, it was...

Eoin Ó Broin: ...the Affordable Housing Act 2021 are referenced, neither of those provide any local authority with any objective criteria to determine what the actual level of need is either for social, affordable, rental or affordable purchase. I put on record that nothing the Minister of State has said addresses the concerns I have outlined or indeed what is in the amendment. To return to amendment...

Eoin Ó Broin: .... It does not deal with it at a sub-county level. If a planning application, for example, has been submitted in a location where there is a need for a mixture of owner occupation and private rental, the HNDA does not provide the data to make that assessment. If you are not in favour of a percentage, how do our local authorities, in their housing strategies, decide what the appropriate...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Apr 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: ...that my proposal to the effect that at least 50% of new-build apartments would be available for individuals and families to buy, except in cases of social and affordable housing, affordable rental or purpose-built student accommodation, could be a blunt instrument. However, the current situation is not working and is incredibly blunt. We are close to 0% of new-build apartments being...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...is 10% social and 10% affordable, goes up to 50%, comprising a minimum of 20% social housing and a minimum of 30% that is a combination of social and other forms of affordable housing, whether cost rental or affordable purchase. To summarise what I said earlier, the rationale is simple. The vast majority of working people are priced out of the market. They cannot afford rents or house...

Niall Collins: The exemption in based on the viability of providing social and-or affordable and cost-rental on small sites. While the deletion of this subsection would marginally increase the capture of Part V units in dense urban locations where brownfield or infill development on sites of 0.1 ha or less takes place, there are a limited number of examples where development of four or more units has taken...

Niall Collins: I will make the point that residential zoning provides for private, social, affordable and cost rental. It captures all.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (17 Apr 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: I will make the point that in Vienna, for example, where housing is much more affordable - affordable rental new-build two-bed apartments can be rented for approximately €620 per month - they have an affordable housing zoning. They identify land they need for affordable housing, get agricultural land on the outskirts, buy it and put an affordable housing zoning on the land and then...

Cian O'Callaghan: Yes, but our current situation is that we are getting planning application after application for rental-only developments when it comes to apartments and we are not getting that with respect to houses and duplexes.
