Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Reclassification of Approved Housing Bodies: Discussion
9:30 am
Ms Karen Murphy:
A question was asked about scale and about the size of some schemes, with some coming in at between 20 and 30 units. This is a consequence of the sustainable communities guidelines, to which we adhere. One decides on the scale of developments in partnership with the local authority and under those guidelines. There must not be an overconcentration of social housing and that is the main reason schemes are the size they are.
