Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Construction Costs in Housing: Discussion

Mr. James Benson:

Again, it comes back to point made earlier; we need to see greater alignment between zoned lands that are serviced. Having the land zoned with the capability of it being developed is fine but we must have the roads, water and power - the three critical elements. While water always gets the headlines, water, roads and power all need to be included. Unless there is electricity in and water supplied to the home and a road to be able to get into the home, they will lie idle.
