Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

General Scheme of the Planning and Development (No. 1) Bill 2014

3:20 pm

Mr. Terry Sheridan:

I will leave that question related to Part V to my colleagues.

I will address the vacant site levy and the question of the charge being passed on to purchasers, increasing the price of housing. The levy will not be applied if the site is developed. The incentive is to develop the site rather than to leave it undeveloped. That should not impact on house prices.
