Mr. Paul Hogan:

It can be difficult at the level of the individual planning application where one particular site or scheme has to fit in. It is often better to capture it at the level of area planning.

Another initiative that has come from Project Ireland 2040 is the establishment of the Land Development Agency. One of the possibilities in having such a development agency is that it will have an overview of master planning sites, or site assembly, starting in particular with State lands, and working with the local authorities. There is that opportunity to see what is required on an area wide basis. It has already been thought about where individual sites are being developed because it can be a considerable burden on a particular applicant or site if it is not spread in an equitable way.
