Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Infrastructure Provision and Residential Developments: Discussion

Ms Maria O'Dwyer:

The strategic development zones, SDZs, might be a good example of what the Deputy is talking about. Typically when an SDZ goes through a planning process it is put out that there is a call on developers to engage on how the large strategic infrastructure in that site would be provided. We have had some good examples of that, such as Cherrywood, where the developers have come together. We have worked with the developers there and that arrangement worked to get the core strategic infrastructure into the site. Then every development is just funding the local network infrastructure to connect into the larger trunk mains within the estate.
