The Irish Times reports, a number of builders have made a joint submission to Kildare County Council taking issue with the new county development plan.
Some of the biggest builders in the market have claimed they could be forced to halt the construction of new homes in Co Kildare because housing targets are too restrictive.
The Irish Times reports, Builders O’Flynn, Cairn, Glenveagh and Ballymore have made a joint submission to Kildare County Council saying its proposed development plan risks curtailing the delivery of houses and apartments.
The companies said they had collectively built more than 3,000 homes in Kildare in the past five years.
The council did not immediately respond to a request for comment on the submission, according to the Irish Times.
A public consultation closed this week on the Kildare County draft development plan, which contains a target of 9,144 new homes by 2028.
The 60-page submission from O’Flynn, Cairn, Glenveagh and Ballymore — collectively described as a “consortium of housebuilders” — takes issue with the target, claiming it is “insufficiently ambitious” and fails to address the worsening national and local housing crisis.
