Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Engagement with the Office of the Planning Regulator
Mr. Niall Cussen:
I am just coming to that now. In fairness, one of the key audiences for the guidelines published on building height is those concerned with the development plan process that the local authorities are embarking on. Sometimes some of the difficulties and the points of contention regarding what constitutes an appropriate height arise because we have not yet seen the review of all the development plans so as to take account of the policy advices in the guidelines. I am referring to identifying areas where an enhanced approach to building height may be appropriate and also to where it may not be so appropriate.
