Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
National Planning Framework: Discussion
9:00 am
Mr. Niall Cussen:
The local infrastructure housing activation fund, LIHAF, model has very successfully got local authorities, State bodies and housing providers working together to boost housing output in strategic locations. However, it is housing focused. One could see the smart initiative as being more broadly based with regard to economic, community and social development as well, although obviously having the focus on the built environment and the proper planning outcome. We will be developing that with our colleagues in the Departments in the months ahead.
