New Dublin development plan set to restrict the construction of Build to Rent apartments

  1. So dumb. The build rent apartment I live in is 1000 times better quality with extra facilities and a professional landlord that I can contact about issues and they actually get fixed. It’s also the same price as what my friends pay for a shit hole mouldy second house owned by some arsehole.

    We need these to be the minimum standard across the country.

  2. >New policies within the Draft Dublin City Development Plan 2022-2028 will presume to deny planning permission for new BTR developments that are not built within the inner city or within 500 metres of a high employment area…
    They will also be permitted next to key public transport interchanges, like train stations, as well as in areas that are identified as Strategic Development Regeneration Areas (SDRAs).

    I’m curious as to how much of Dublin City Council’s area will actually be affected by the rule. Certainly it would seem that places likely to be developed for build-to-rent apartments would be in one of the permitted areas, especially if a loose definition is given to “next to a key public transport interchange”.

  3. I don’t get it. What’s the point in denying planning OUTSIDE the inner city? Make the inner city mostly for rent?

  4. This seems like a bad idea. It’s totally in denial of the fact that most people can’t afford to buy and so we need a large amount of rental properties for these people. If we build more rental properties, it’ll reduce rents.
