Affordable Housing Scheme

Local authorities may provide houses below market price and allocate on the basis of need to those who cannot afford to buy on the open market.

Housing for All - Affordable housing provision Clonmel

‘Housing for All - a New Housing Plan for Ireland’ is the government’s housing plan to 2030. It is a multi-annual, multi-billion euro plan which aims to improve Ireland’s housing system and deliver more homes for people with different housing needs.

It is an objective of Tipperary County Council to create sustainable communities by encouraging a mix of mixed tenure (i.e. affordable and social) and mono tenure (i.e. affordable or social) housing.

The Council is seeking to increase the availability of affordable and social housing through various delivery mechanisms with home builders and housing developers.

Home builders and housing developers are being asked to consider offering properties with planning permission, where construction of the development or a phase of a development has not yet commenced, to the Council, with payment on completion, for affordable purposes. 

Tipperary County Council is inviting expressions of interest from developers who have planning permission within the area of Clonmel Borough District who are interested in the provision of affordable homes. 

An expression of interest form is available below.
