Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development (Amendment) (LSRD) Bill 2021: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage
Mr. Paul Hogan:
On the question on strategic development zones, as far as I am aware, the provision is excluded from SDZs, exactly as the Senator has said. The nature of what is envisaged to be developed is already set out so that logic applies. That was also one of the recommendations of the review group in 2019.
In relation to the further information request, it is largely developers that we wish to build developments to provide housing. Putting manners on them is not our primary motivation.
