Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Philip Jones:

Yes. It is like what Mr. Lawlor mentioned about what should be in residential zoning. That is something that needs to be done and that everybody else should understand. However, it should not be the case that national policy says we must have a certain level of density, and the only way we may do it is by building ten storeys. We can actually get better densities and higher compact growth if we go to six storeys. I think the committee has had people before it saying as much already.
