Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Urban and Rural Regeneration: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Maria Graham:
The criteria set out are largely as one might expect, relating to compact growth, brownfield and integrated urban development. I might ask Ms Clifford to come in on this. These are marked and it is specifically about giving a scoring where tackling of vacancy or dereliction forms part of the project. It is about highlighting that process and amplifying it within the projects. In very big projects there are areas of dereliction and reuse. We have also seen them in smaller projects where people are perhaps looking at derelict buildings in towns and backlands in towns. It is about making that very explicit as criteria on which people will be judged.
