The biggest issue with viability is densities, and Mr. Doyle has been told time and time again, not least by me but also by every local authority and every AHB, that they cannot make the cost-rental model work because of the density levels that are imposed through planning policy. Has Mr. Doyle changed the planning policy? Have the densities been lowered to where they would be viable?
