Rebuilding Ireland - Action Plan for Housing and Homelessness: Discussion
5:00 pm
Mr. Joe Lane:
When we started originally, we worked off average sizes and many infills. These were brownfield lands. Between 2015 and 2018, the average size was 14. It takes the same length of time to build a small unit as a big one. That is when we increased the unit size. We are in partnership with many more approved housing bodies. Over the next three years our local authority build would be approximately 40% of the total. In the rest there would be turnkeys, 13% approved housing bodies, 9% voids, 3% public private partnerships, PPPs, 11% joint venture projects, 20% Part Vs, and approximately 5% acquisitions. We spent a significant length of time on stage 1 to prevent problems being created during the later four stages.
