- 507 APPENDIX E POLICY OBJECTIVES FOR THE CORK JOINT HOUSING STRATEGY 2022-2028
- 508 Introduction The principles and policies set out in this Appendix are extracted from the Joint Housing Strategy and Housing Need Demand Assessment prepared by consults on behalf of Cork County and City Councils. The Strategy and HNDA has reviewed existing and future housing needs in Cork City and County, setting out an evidence base for both local authorities to plan for sustainable and affordable housing over the strategy period. The Strategy sets out policy principles and objectives to support both authorities to plan for and deliver new housing, drawing on the robust evidence base provided by the HNDA as well as on the policy principles for sustainable development reviewed in Section 2 of the Strategy. Principles to guide the Joint Housing Strategy policy objectives Robust long-term policy objectives for Cork City and County need to be grounded in the right principles. Housing delivery in Cork over the strategy period and beyond will take place in the context of national challenges of delivering enough homes for a growing population, tackling climate change, and improving the social and economic wellbeing of communities. Therefore, in order to reflect these wider challenges, the policy objectives of this Joint Housing Strategy are guided by the following broad principles: (a) To deliver sustainable development through the provision of new homes in the right places, promoting compact growth and strong cities, towns, and villages with good access to amenities, jobs, and services. (b) To provide high-quality housing that meets the needs of Cork’s diverse people, whatever their background, circumstances, or income, and that promotes strong and socially mixed communities. (c) To promote strong, attractive, vibrant, and socially inclusive communities in Cork. (d) To provide flexibility to meet needs and new circumstances that arise over the strategy period and beyond. (e) To support the democratic role of Cork City and County Councils and of local communities of Cork to decide the future of housing in Cork. The following policy objectives have been drafted in accordance with these principles to guide and support sustainable housing delivery through effective spatial planning by Cork City and County Councils. Policy Objectives for the Cork Joint Housing Strategy 2022-2028 Policy Objectives for the Cork Joint Housing Strategy 2022-2028 No Objective PO1 It is the objective of Cork County and City Council to aim for housing to be available to meet the needs of people of all needs and incomes in Cork, with an appropriate mix of housing sizes, types, and tenures in suitable locations. This will include the provision of new social and affordable housing of a high quality, appropriate to the specific needs of households. In support if this objective, and to ensure a suitable housing mix is provided within individual developments and within communities, planning applications for multiple housing units will be required to submit a Statement of Housing Mix detailing the proposed housing mix and why it is considered appropriate in meeting in the needs of an area. PO2 The Councils will ensure that an adequate amount of land for housing in suitable locations is zoned for in their respective Development Plans, to meet the likely future housing demands and needs identified in this Housing Strategy. PO3 The Councils will aim to provide for existing unmet housing need as identified by the County and City social housing assessments through the provision of social and affordable housing. The Councils will pursue a range of delivery mechanisms including direct delivery by the Councils, delivery through Approved Housing Bodies, and through short- and long-term leasing arrangements organised by the Councils with private landlords. The Councils will continue to seek to safeguard the enjoyment of any house, building or land provided by the Councils, and the enjoyment of any neighbouring properties, through the continued promotion good estate management and will work with local communities and other stakeholders in this regard.
