Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion

1:30 pm

Mr. Paul Hogan:

The target is that at least 40% of all new homes nationally are to be within the built-up footprint of existing settlements. That is national policy objective No. 7. National policy objective No. 8 is that at least half of those will be in the cities, with 30% outside of the cities. Those figures are based on the fact we are looking at a ratio of 50:50 between cities and not-cities. That is where the 40% comes from.
