Mr. Paul Hogan:

The idea of the UDZ is that more information would be available prior to designation about the scope, potential and cost of infrastructure to serve. This will mean that a more informed decision can be made about designation. It will also feed into decisions on what might be appropriate to apportion to the developers based on a particular land value sharing, LVS, contribution, and to the State for extraordinary infrastructure over and above even what we would expect several developers co-operating to contribute. There are different levels of infrastructure. There is common co-ordinated infrastructure and extraordinary infrastructure, in line with what the URDF has done in some of the SDZs, certainly in Clonburris and Waterford. We agree with this type of provision. Perhaps it could be identified through a national plan such as the revision of the national planning framework.
