Members will be aware that the Department of Housing, Planning & Local Government (DHPLG) announced delivery targets under the Rebuilding Ireland Action Plan for Housing & Homelessness across a range of housing programmes. Cork City Council successfully met and exceeded its target for 2019, with 697 homes delivered jointly by the Local Authority and AHB Sector under their Build, Acquisition and Leasing delivery programme.
The City Council continues to advance a strong delivery programme which can be summarised as follows:
Construction: Cork City Council placed a contract notice on the E Tenders website and the OJEU (Official Journal of the European Union) to procure innovative solutions to meeting housing targets under the Social Housing Strategy (SHS) including the construction and completion of housing projects under a parallel site acquisition and development agreement with the City Council, using a Competitive Dialogue procurement process. In Phase 1 of Competitive Dialogue, 11 schemes comprising 215 homes have progressed with the approval of the DHPLG. Construction has been completed on 5 schemes at Blackrock, Tramore Road, Ard Aoibhinn, Blarney Street and White Street totalling 150 homes. Construction has reached practical completion on schemes at High Street consisting of 9 new homes. A further two schemes consisting of 48 units are due to commence construction in 2020. A further contract notice was placed on the E Tenders website and the OJEU, with a closing date of September 2017, to seek submissions from candidates for the delivery of more new homes using this procurement process. In Phase 2 of Competitive Dialogue, three schemes have commenced on site comprising a total of 35 homes. Further schemes have been shortlisted to progress to the next phase of procurement, involving a Part 8 process, or are at tender stage. Several of the schemes under consideration have been advertised for Part 8, with 8 of the schemes (130 new homes) now with Part 8 approval in place. The Covid-19 pandemic necessitated the Government mandated shut down of construction sites at the end of March, with all schemes recommenced on site in May 2020 (as per the Government’s roadmap for phased reopening). The schemes that are currently at Part 8 permission stage and going through the public consultation process have been affected by the extension of timelines under Planning legislation, with the Part 8 period put on hold as a result
