Almost 300 social homes to be built on land left over from Ballymun regeneration project
Councillors will in the coming weeks be asked to approve plans for a Public-Private Partnership development of 288 social homes, with 273 apartments, 10 “own door” maisonettes and five houses, on sites of the former flat blocks.
The new homes were mostly completed before the final tower block was demolished in 2015. Two years later the council published a plan for the sites which remained vacant following the demolition of the last towers. Mixed tenure was needed to encourage more shops and other services to the area, the LAP plan stated. “The dominance of low-income households and limited disposable income is restrictive for local businesses and makes it difficult to attract new commercial activity into the area.”
Behind this site, three smaller plots will have eight, five, and 34 homes which will be a mix of houses, maisonettes and apartments, up to six storeys. These link to another large site, which has frontage on to Balbutcher Lane and will have 109 apartments of four to five storeys.
