Does the CCAC take a position, and I do not expect it to be aware of it at this point, on the compact urban settlement guidelines that are being agreed, or at least drafted, at present with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage? It seems that for district heating to work, we need to get the right urban density. Those guidelines should speak to the decarbonisation challenge in getting the appropriate densities in our urban areas. I do not know whether the council has a view on that but I expect that those guidelines, when they are agreed, will be highly significant as we go forward in the years ahead in how we develop our towns, villages and cities.
