3. Summary Aims and Requests • What we have • Long term vacant industrial building in largely residential location • No realistic prospect of bringing back into use that is compatible with the location • We would ask for your support to • Have the site rezoned to residential use and support the residential application that will follow • This will allow us • Create a mixed use scheme of possibly 350+ units of mixed sizes for all age groups • Create an accessible riverside walk and park (2.5 acres) • Create community facilities • Create a managed quality housing product • Together we can • Create a build to rent development with neighbourhood facilities (crèche, small shops and neighbourhood enhancing facilities) on a managed basis to the affordable sector.

4. Rezoning Request • We have requested part of the site to be rezoned from Z6 to Z1 (industrial to residential) with the riverside green land remaining. • The DCC Chief Executive is minded to propose this rezoning and has initiated the variation process  as provided for under Section 13 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). • In terms of next steps in the variation process, see below: • The various reports (Appropriate Assessment Screening and Strategic Environmental Assessment Screening) are currently being prepared by DCC and notice and copies of the proposed variation will be sent to consultees; • Publication of notice of variation in newspaper (anticipated next week) • 4 weeks for written submissions/observations - Anticipated timeframe w/c 11th December • Not later than 8 weeks after publication after the newspaper publication, the manager prepares his report and will submit to the members for consideration • Members consider the proposed variation and managers’ report (not later than 6 weeks after submission) • Members make the variation, with or without modifications, or they may refuse to make it. • Could hopefully result in a rezoned site in February 2018

5. Development Strategy • Have the site rezoned as soon as possible • Lodge a full planning application for a dense and affordable housing scheme in Q1 2018 • The proposed development will be one of the first under the build to rent planning legislation and we aim to make a real and positive contribution to the housing crisis, the community and the local economy. • This will be a housing scheme that is available for normal people to rent on long terms at reasonable rents, allowing them to develop their lives and those of their families • The strategy is to create affordable housing rapidly for a broad spectrum of people in a variety of housing types from duplex town houses to small single one person units. • The scheme will make use of the great transport links and the close proximity to the city centre and be as sustainable as possible promoting public transport, car clubs and cycling. • We are confident we can make a great place to live and enhance the locality from a site that has been vacant for a considerable time.

Win Win Situation This is an ambitious plan and will be one of the first schemes brought through planning under the build to rent planning regime It is our aspiration to create a great place to live for normal people, this will be a mixture of social housing and affordable all rented to the occupiers. The leases will be on longer tenure so occupiers can develop their lives and those of their family’s without the need to worry about housing. Great Secure and Managed place to live for single people and families Community facilities for the entire community. Creche and other facilities on site for everyone to use. Extension of the linear park with facilities like riverside seating, bandstand, function area and playground. This will be a managed day time park. Creation of much needed affordable housing and 300+ local jobs in construction and over 50 jobs permanently on site. Working together we are hopeful of starting on site late 2018 with first occupation in 2019
