Figure 3.3: Spatial Density and Building Height Strategy.

Below-market priced housing products generally include the following: • Social housing for rent; and • Affordable housing for rent, purchase or shared ownership. 3.28 Social and Affordable housing products will be provided by Cork City Council as the Housing Authority, and Approved Housing Bodies (AHBs), by a wide range of mechanisms, including under Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), and hereafter referred to as “Part V”. 3.29 All proposed residential developments, or mixed- use developments with a residential component, shall have regard to and comply with the provisions of the Housing Strategy and Part V, as appropriate. Applicants will be required to engage with the Plan- ning Authority at an early stage in an application process to ascertain any specific requirements in relation to their Part V obligation.

Delivering a Good Mix of Housing

3.26 The Joint Housing Strategy / Housing Need and Demand Assessment provides an analysis of the need for below-market priced housing for new households. Within Cork City the target is to provide housing for new households at a ratio of 79.5% market homes to 20.5% below-market priced homes. In addition to meeting this new housing need the existing housing waiting list will also need to be housed. 3.27 Below-market priced housing need will be met by Social and Affordable tenure housing products, which are constantly evolving and it is anticipated that they will continue to evolve through the Plan period.
