Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Review of National Planning Framework and Climate Targets: Discussion

Ms Anne Marie O'Connor:

On compact growth, we have to think back to 2017. As a planner, at that time, I do not think I had even heard of compact growth. It was a new concept even at that time. If we consider the definition of compact growth, we must consider that the targets we have for compact growth are for only 40% of houses to be constructed within the built-up areas. That is an extremely low level of ambition.
