Ms Claragh Mulhern:

That is where the planning assessment piece by the planning authority comes in. As it currently stands, and notwithstanding LVS and what may apply here, obviously, providing appropriate housing depending on the context and keeping in line with the housing strategy for that local area is what the planning authority will need to consider. LVS is an obligation that flows from whatever development has been permitted, but the planning assessment and the housing strategy that has been adopted for a local authority area will form the basis for determining what is appropriate on any given site.
