Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Robert Keran:
The point is that the SDZ process has been in place for quite a while. It serves a good function at the moment. There are good and bad examples. The point we are trying to make is that the UDZ process, as articulated in the Bill, has not been differentiated much from the SDZ process. We cannot quite see the research that established that the SDZ process does not work or cannot be tweaked to make it work better. We are suggesting further research into the issues with the SDZ process could be carried out to inform the UDZ process.
