The applicant has been a key contributor to housing delivery in Adamstown“This legislation has been specifically introduced to support large-scale housing development projects essential to addressing Ireland’s housing shortage, such as the subject permission’s development,” Mr Kelly said. He pointed out that the emergency legislation states councils should grant planning extensions where various criteria are met by the schemes. The planning extension “will provide the certainty required to secure financing, commence construction as planned and ultimately safeguard the completion of the project”, Mr Kelly said. “These lands have been zoned in the Adamstown Special Development Zone (SDZ) for significant development as a new area for residential housing,” he added.
