Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Implementing Housing for All: Discussion

Mr. Frank Curran:

In Cherrywood, we will get the 10% of units in the context of Part V and then the 10% of affordable units when those regulations kick in as well. There is certainly interest as well in the new schemes we spoke about earlier and where we see units coming through from the local authorities, as turn keys, the LDA and the AHBs via the CREL scheme. All that is ongoing and many units are coming on stream. Work is either underway or planning permission has been obtained for 3,700 units, with more to come. Approximately 10,500 units will be built in future years. There will be the minimum of 10% social and affordable housing, but then we will also have the other units that will come on stream as well.

Turning to the rent levels in Shanganagh, and we spoke about this earlier, these have not yet been calculated. If I were to estimate it, I would suggest the figure will be around €1,500.
