I broadly share Ms Scully's assessment. Specifically within Dublin city, and this applies more to those in the city than those of us in the county, there is obviously the whole issue of smaller brownfield sites that could facilitate significant compact growth and mixed use. Does Ms Scully think that, as currently framed, the tool of the UDZ could be applied or do we need some kind of mechanism? We could be talking about sites that are quite small geographically but that could be quite high in respect of density. I am keen to try to see how to avoid rezoning a site. The Chivers site is one example of where some people feel burned by the process. Is there a way of introducing a smaller scale UDZ for compact growth and higher density on brownfield sites in inner urban areas? Could that be added to this legislation? Would that be helpful for a council such as Dublin City Council?
