Housing Executive estates with problematic open space
Many Housing Executive estates from the 1960s-1970s have large areas of undefined open space (up to 60% of estate) that have become difficult to manage, and the Housing Executive is developing strategic improvement approaches using quality design principles.
There are some Housing Executive estates, usually dating from the 1960's and 1970's, where the design has resulted in large areas of ill defined open space - typically taking up to 60% of the estate. Many of these areas have become problematic and difficult to manage. The Housing Executive is continuing to develop a strategic approach to the improvement of these estates through broad stakeholder involvement and by employing the design principles advocated by the Department's Quality Initiative.
