Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Land Development Agency Bill 2019: Department of Housing, Planning and Local Government and Land Development Agency

Mr. John Coleman:

On the timeframe involved with the St. Kevin's site in Cork, we have design teams appointed. Active work is happening on that. We anticipate having a planning application lodged in mid-2020. We are hoping for construction to start in the first half of 2021 with homes delivered in the first half of 2022. It is important to note that property development by its nature is inherently uncertain with regard to timeframes. Issues always arise, perhaps through planning or one may discover an impediment on site. These timelines are our best and fairest estimates currently. I assure Deputy Barry that my team on the LDA land and development side is constantly looking for ways to pull out blocks of time from that process to ensure activity happens as quickly as possible on site.
