Cork City Development Plan 2022 - 2028 Volume 1

Chapter 3 I Delivering Homes and Communities

3.30 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 Planning Authority at an early stage in an application process to ascertain any specific requirements in relation to their Part V obligation. All schemes shall clearly demonstrate how the resultant mix of house type, tenure and housing mix has had due regard to the Housing Strategy and HNDA.

3.34 Private housing solutions for one-person household demand will be varied and include: one-bedroom flats (owner occupied, private rental and Build-to- Rent) and studios in the form of Shared Accommodation and Purpose-Built Student Accommodation.

Build-to-Rent and Shared Accommodation

3.31 Specific exemptions to Part V are:

3.35 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. 3.32 Build-to-rent and shared accommodation develop- ments will not be exempt from Part V requirements. 3.33 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.
