The CSO’s 202(0){1}population estimate for the Dublin Region was (1,417,700) {1,430,000} persons. Dublin City Council’s share of the 2016 Census regional population figure for Dublin was approximately 42%. Assuming the same share for the CSO 202(0){1} estimated regional population figure for Dublin, this gives an estimated population figure of (595,434) {600,600} for Dublin City Council in April 202(0){1}. This indicates an estimated (7.4 %) {8.3%} rise in the population of Dublin City over a (four) {five} year period from 2016 through to 202(0){1}.

Amendment:
Based on the population targets and calculated housing need set out within national and regional planning policy, guidelines and prescribed methodology, the development plan must accommodate between (21,350 - 31,450) {20,120 – 31,520} additional persons up to an overall population target of between 625,750 and 640,000 by 2028. The housing demand calculated sets a requirement for the development plan to provide for approximately 40,000 housing units between 2022 and 2028.

Section: 2.3.1 Land Capacity Assessment, subheading - Capacity of SDRA Lands
Page: 64
Amendment:
The SDRA lands are critical to the core Strategy. All SDRAs (both new and previously identified) have been examined to determine capacity for future housing growth, taking into account sustainable densities and relevant SDZs and LAPs where relevant. {This detailed assessment gave a potential yield from the 17 SDRAs of between 34,750 – 35,950 new dwellings on approximately 358 hectares. (Table 13-1 in Chapter 13 shows a breakdown of these figures by individual SDRA).}
Delete Table 2.8: Capacity of SDRA Designated lands for Residential Use or a Mixture of Residential and Other Uses, and
Replace with new subheading, text and table to this section, before subheading “Capacity of SDRA lands.”
{Integration of the Core Strategy and Settlement Hierarchy
The Core Strategy is shaped and driven by the overall vision outlined in the settlement strategy, with significant new housing delivery framed within the overall settlement hierarchy for the City targeted at (1) the inner city; (2) along key high quality transport corridors as set out by the RSES and MASP and within Key Urban Villages and (3) on key brownfield and infill opportunity sites with the Tier 1 RSES area (which encompasses the entire Council area) to support NPO3a, b and c and NPO11. The settlement strategy recognises there is a strong overlap between these categories within the hierarchy with many key SDRA sites fitting within two or three elements.

*Densities from extant LAPs/SDZs/existing permissions are included; over and above that, potential yields outside of these areas are estimated using standard densities of 200 units per hectare (uph) for inner city areas and 100 uph for areas in the suburbs, where sites are primarily residential. For mixed use zonings the figures are reduced to take account of the impact of other non-residential developments.
**Refers to primarily student and supported residential accommodation.
KUVs outside of SDRAs present opportunities for some densification and infill, however the housing yield this is not quantified due to the highly speculative and underdetermined nature of such estimation.
*** these lands are not yet zoned for residential purposes but it is anticipated that they will, through the variation process, come forward for first phase of development during the lifetime of the Plan.}
