Building homes in back gardens could deliver 350,000 new houses

- A “small change to the rules” that would allow people to build homes in their gardens could deliver an additional 350,000 housing units, a new think tank has argued.
Progress Ireland wants the Government to change planning rules to allow garden 'seomraí' or granny flats to be built more easily.
Under the current regulations, people can build offices or workshops in their back gardens - but not new buildings for people to live in.
Progress Ireland spokesperson Seán O’Neill McPartlin says -
“All around the country, you’ll see structures erected in gardens,”
“You’ll see home offices, studios perhaps, underused gyms.
“So, what we’re proposing is, where before you were allowed to build these structures, homeowners will instead be allowed to build small homes.”
According to the Housing Commission, Ireland currently has a deficit of 200,000 homes and there is a shortage of brownfield land in areas where housing is most in demand.

You'll own nothing and be happy.
They will own everything and be happier.
There is a case currently in the courts over this topic.. north Dublin. Own there land. Original house can't live in... old and damp. The family set up a small accommodation and got blocked and rail roaded by the county council no. They have land lots and still being evicted. ... doesn't make sense. ..
Even in rural Ireland you cant have a mobile home on your own private land without planning permission, and the planning permission won't get granted unless you're planning to build 🙄
And ipas putting immigrants all over d country where's d planning permission there or is it another fiddle for ipas gang
@@noelfleming3567 wow...
Lucky he has a house and a shomera! The rest of us are grand living with our parents saving for a house.
Lucky to be living with your parents!!

At 40 years old, what a plank.😅😂
@@user-og2bm6hl4lliving at hone at 40 you should only blame yourself you would have been 28 back in 2012 when house prices were cheap should have got your act together back then 😂
Being able to have A tiny home in your back for your kids is a great solution for their independence while preparing for their own first home
They can't get a new home now
Very tedious to listen to these two arguing and interrupting each other. I gave up after 3 minutes
This pair hasn't a clue.😅😂
She definitely hasn't, she's deluded and makes it sound so simple, she was for dynamic pricing and loves the idea if shoving us all into little shacks.
agreed
Heres a better idea. A tent. You can move when you want to. Cheaper costs no planning permission. Easy to heat. Or even better a bin. A lot have rollers and you can pretent to be oscar the grouch.
Jesus Christ above. The problem isn’t the quantity of houses it’s the price of them.
The reason they're talking about quantity is because of 'The law of supply vs demand'. The lower the quantity, the higher the price. The higher the quantity, the lower the price.
Because of kelly i stopped listening to the Breakfast show yers ago..... SHE TALKS OVER EVERYBODY !!
Why not just tents, shanty towns, street slums?!
2 million new homes in the next 15 years?!
Get a grip!
FREE ENOCH BURKE
@@mariecarey3514 O Shut Up.
I wonder who would be going into these homes.
Whether agree or not might not be wrong building these doesn't mean anything sinister will have to build mire anyway
Probably only singles and couples, students. AirB&Bs. Can't imagine it being suitable for families.
One guess. Who
PA-KIS

We need to allow and design for multi-generational living in urban and suburban home developments, the planning authority need to allow home renovations like the Greeks where you can add additional floor levels on suburban homes without the bureaucracy of planning permission. Build up not out
'Tis my home!!
Fair play to you missus for standing your ground.. Hope to hear more of it in the mornings.. That buck is hard work at best of times
She would give a panadol a headache😂😂😂
How many people live in one room in Ireland
Most cities don't have enough water, electricity or sewage without building doubling the amount of homes in the area
He sounds like our planners in Ireland with their heads in their a--. Lucky he owns a house with a POD in his garden in Dublin. Treating the Irish like fools. As if the irish would build a pop to live in the back garden with no side gate.
I've no side gate but i do have a garden shed and ill easily allow someone to walk trough my house out into the shed. I'd probably get €600 a month for it. I have bucket they can use as a tiolet and a garden hose the can clean themselves with
Ciara is crazy
Lots of people would live in one room and do. I did it before I bought. Also it is all many people can afford in Dublin.
@@usernextuser5385 And it would be cheaper than a one bed apartment.
Government should CPO peoples back gardens and build homes for the homeless.
Homelessness is created to increase the valuation of properties and Doctors are supposed to look after the sick not talk nonsense on the radio
This will be a huge problem with population density. Roadside parking will be a mess and there will be neighbors fighting with each other for silly reasons. should not be allowed.
THIS IS IRELAND NOT CANADA cop on I'm completely on his side
You wouldn’t be on his side if you were couch surfing or a student being fleeced. Remember when they shut all the bedsits only to move people on to the streets and homelessness?
@@PB111627 I'm on his side because they want to start putting make shift home (cabin type) in BACK GARDENS making this as a solution to homelessness etc
THIS IS WRONG people living in this country need proper homes proper heating electricity and proper running water a SAFE PLACE WITH PRIVACY not shoved into a small back garden and forgotten about
This is NOT a proper solution to the housing crisis in the country THIS IS NOT CANADA THIS IS IRELAND
Referencing Canada is comparing apples to oranges. Speaking as a Canadian, Canadian housing estates have a far different layout to Irish housing estates. In Canada, lanes are the same size as an average Irish road and they run behind every house giving the people laneway access to their home and somewhere to park their car, hence why they are called 'laneway houses'. I have only ever seen the 'Canadian' layout in one housing estate in Dublin and the laneway had a large locked gate due to anti-scoial behaviour in the laneway.
@@JohnDoe-mi9pn thank you point proven shoving cabin/ sheds for people to live in, in back gardens no access in any way shape or form no privacy no space nothing and this does not solve the homeless problem at all where I live in a very large town and I do not live in a estate where we have a side entrance we live in town houses with no access to the back garden.....this is madness.
But thank you for clearing this up
You need a seperate entry/exit for the accomodation unit. Which is a driveway.
Fire Brigade needs access if its going to be a dwelling so back gardens won't work.
So if you’ve no side entrance then this isn’t for you. But houses with a side entrance, which are plentiful around Dublin can have one of these built. I know of about 20 that are already built by friends of mine and have tenants.
Most buildings in Irish cities do not have clear access. This is typical case of over regulation.
@@Art-is-craft I live on the north side of Dublin and couldn’t disagree more
Ealu Costa , luxury Suites, could be built in a small space. Coastalescape.
Well that should be under your planning permission to build one, access for the fire brigade. Simple solution.

Perhaps the back gardens should be used for gardening.
It would be better if the gov. made it easier for people to convert empty retail buildings into townhouses.
She’s hard work
You couldn’t imagine.
She should call herself Me, cause all she references the arguments are about her home or her family or her travelling to work
She’s as self centred as the human being could be

What a mess of a country 😂
They seriously need to stop talking bout my this and my that , disgraceful
These debates feel like the Northside versus the Southside.
It’s being done for non Irish people what about us the native Irish ☘️
So Irish, this argument...
Unfortunately in Ireland our houses are so small and side access is so tight, only very few houses would be suitable, but if it is just a small percentage of houses that would qualify, again, I don’t see the problem.
Canada has a similar problem that Ireland has when it comes to housing under the Trudeau regime
It would need to be strictly controlled, regarding 1) the building standards, 2) the proportion of outside space left. Really only suitable for large gardens. 3) private parking space, 4) extra charge for utility servicing etc, etc.
Yep 100% which just means very few people will avail of it. It just wouldn't be worth it. Then you have insurance liability if someone injures themeselves on you're property. Between that and planing and taxes and the cost of building them. It just won't be worth it
How did these two end up with a joint talk show. Both horrendous to listen to.
She has a point. If side gates/entrance is wide enough for Fire Brigade access, I don’t see the problem either.
Loads of land in greystones build ipass centres .mosques and sheds .all the way to wicklow
they're basements in Canada
Too much red tape here is this country it's a pure joke.
So solve the housing crisis by living in the back garden....quality journalism 😂
Shane's stance on this is unbelievably narrow-minded. Any solution is better than none at all. Does he really think that people desperate for housing are worried about car parking and side entrances? This is an emergency situation in Ireland that's getting worse by the day! He's completely out of touch.
Lads please yer asking the wrong questions. Its v upsetting
Commandeer golf courses. build homes. Job done.
Most houses in Dublin are semidetached Shane - ie they have a side gate. Also, ‘seomra’ type structures are modular, you can add as many rooms as you like, provided that you have planning permission.
Every semi detached house has a side entrance , every end of terrace house has a side gate ..
The only thing that will allow enough houses to be built is deregulation, lower income/VAT and then wait 10 years. But what is the chance common sense would happen.
It’s not easy to tell you what we think seeing that you talked over that woman , making it very difficult to hear what she is saying, you are so rude and overbearing, and self opinionated . There are thousands of homes with side gates including mine.
It's hard to listen to you guys talking over each other
kelly been doing that for a decade !!!
Shane's anti everything.. just like the civil service
This is a riddiculous. They'll be claiming squaters rights
Coleman is too idealistic, this would help relieve some of the housing crisis.
This guy is very shortsighted
When you listen to him it feels that He's his eye on a government advisor role, would be right up his alley and judging how a lot of government advisors seem to come from the media it wouldn't surprise me
Jeesh what a mess, you talk over each other, and you are the presenters!
Spot on @@edwardduffy4793
She's also a little bit out of touch, she makes it sound so simple. But this should not be the solution to the housing crisis
@@Portsoffall it’s working out great in California, Oregon and Washington state.
Problem is mass immigration, not lack of housing.
If there was zero immigration, there'd still be a shortage, bigly!
that always works, doesn't it? When you got no valid argument......cry immigration!
See here is my problem people have small SMALL gardens this leads to crowding it's bad enough with ZERO privacy
NOT EVERYONE HAVE SIDE GATES WE DON'T so she is wrong
What planet is she on
Most housing estate's don't have side gates
