Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Paul Hogan:

It is an enduring charge. Therefore, from the moment of zoning, it is an enduring charge on the land. There might well be an attempt to discharge it through a proposal to do with infrastructure and a condition. If that falls or is not delivered, however, the charge remains. In some ways, it counteracts the risk of an economic downturn or things not being delivered. It is one way of doing it. Clearly, on a site-by-site basis, that can arise. Our preferred scenario for larger sites and bigger areas is the more upfront delivery in line with the master-plan approach, and some State involvement as well for the really big areas.
