Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Ivan Gaine:

The Chairman referred to compact urban growth, in respect of which there is a lot of expectation. That is own-door housing, as Mr. O'Connell said, at 50, 60 or 70 per hectare. The resourcing on a go-forward basis is incredibly important because it is to be hoped that is the next layer of viable permissions, which will be more mixed tenure. It is important. Whatever about the 70,000 that are in the log-jam in the system, it is about units designed for a different market. The next to three to five or ten years will be important and that awareness and general communication as to what that is will be important. If is something we expected before Christmas and we would like to see progress on it.
