2.33 Some brownfield sites with existing active uses, such as state or institutional, were excluded. Their delivery timeframe cannot be estimated as they may or may not change use over time. These will be treated as windfall sites, if or when they become available. Such sites will require careful planning and design, including detailed framework plans that ensure best practice regeneration based on the character and nature of their existing urban environments.
Residential Construction and Planning Activity
2.34 The Joint Cork Housing Strategy includes an assessment of housing market trends in Cork since 1970. Fig 2.13 shows how Cork has consistently accounted for 10% - 15% of national new-build homes. Following the economic crash in 2010, ew home construction declined dramatically. While gradually recovering, it remains well below the long-term average. The housing strategy highlights how the Cork housing market is currently marked by a supply/demand mismatch, with under-supply remaining a serious issue, particularly in key urban areas.
