Build-to-Rent and Shared Accommodation

3.30 Specific exemptions to Part V are:

3.34 The ‘Sustainable Urban Housing: Design Standards for New Apartments’ Guidelines (DHPLG, March 2018) establish Build-to-Rent (BTR) and Shared Accommodation (SA) as part of the housing mix for urban centres and locations accessible to high quality public transport (i.e. adjacent to train stations or LRT stops). The housing models and their development standards are clearly defined within the Guidelines. The new housing models are defined as specific housing tenures.

• Semi-independent or supported living accommo- dation for older people or persons with a disability; and • Purpose-built student accommodation.. 3.31 Build-to-rent and shared accommodation develop- ments will not be exempt from Part V requirements. 3.32 The HNDA illustrates that housing will be needed to provide for the household sizes set out in Table 3.4 in Cork City during the period of the Development Plan:
