Submission to the Kilkenny County Development Plan Consultation Process

By Rosie Lynch, Workhouse Union

Dear Kilkenny County Council,

After the excellent online consultations, I would like to make the following

contribution, with particular reference to Chapter 6 Housing and Community.

Observations

Co-design and Community-Led Housing

6.2 The Making of Place

Add Strategic Objective:

To ensure that people are at the centre of all placemaking activities. To ensure that co-design and participatory processes are used to engage people in shaping their built-environment, with a particular focus on supporting harder to reach communities to take part in public engagement processes.

6.9 Housing Objectives

Add Strategic Objective:

Acknowledgement and associated support of Community-Led Housing as a means of empowering communities to meet their specific housing needs affordably and collectively.

(Concept of Community-Led Housing as promoted by SOA's (Self-Organised Architecture) Roadmapping a Viable Community-Led Housing Sector for Ireland research)

6.3 Sustainable Community

The addition of the following text to the opening paragraph of Section 6.3:                                                                                                             ”In those rural settlements where Camphill communities have developed, the Council seeks to support new initiatives, along the lines of inclusive neighbourhoods, community-led housing and social enterprise [through funding policy and planning regulations] to develop and thrive”

(Concept of Inclusive Neighbourhood as promoted by Nimble Spaces Callan Pilot project and research and as outlined in the Kilkenny LEADER Partnership funded report ‘Creating the Future WE Want, 2020 )

Section 7.1 Rural Development - Introduction

The list of policy objectives currently includes the objective to ‘Maintain and enhance existing rural community to ensure vibrant sustainable rural areas’. To this I would add:                                      

”In those rural settlements where Camphill communities have developed, the Council seeks to support new initiatives, along the lines of inclusive neighbourhoods, community-led housing, cultural amenities and social enterprise [through funding policy and planning regulations] to develop and thrive”

(Concept of Inclusive Neighbourhood as promoted by Nimble Spaces Callan Pilot project and research and as outlined in the Kilkenny LEADER Partnership funded report ‘Creating the Future We Want, 2020 )

8.1 Introduction 

Add:

To ensure that people are at the centre of all open-space and recreation opportunities and activities. To ensure that co-design and participatory processes are used to engage people in shaping their built-environment, with a particular focus on supporting harder to reach communities to take part in public engagement processes.
