Housing Provision
Dail Éireann — 2022-09-28
============================================================

Malcolm Noonan (GP), Carlow-Kilkenny

I thank the Deputy for welcoming the delivery of 25 affordable homes in Castletroy.
Between 2000 and 2015, Part V obligations under the Planning and Development Act allowed local authorities to avail of up to 20% of the planning gain on relevant land for social and affordable purposes. This was subsequently reduced, as the Deputy is aware, to 10% in 2015 for social housing. In line with the commitments in the programme for Government, changes to Part V were introduced under Part 6 of the Affordable Housing Act 2021, which was enacted on 3 September 2021. The provisions increased the contribution required for social and affordable housing, including cost-rental housing, up to a mandatory 20% for planning permissions granted in respect of land purchased before September 2015 and since 1 August 2021.
