Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Housing (Miscellaneous Provisions) (No.2) Bill 2024: Discussion
1:30 pm
Mr. Brian O'Gorman:
It is usually made in consultation with local authorities. They will say there is demand in particular areas. Some local authorities have development plans which insist on mixed-tenure development. They have it right down to prescribing proportions, for example, 50% social; 25% cost and 25% affordable for sale. Often the local authority dictates the mix in particular schemes and so on. It is down but it is in consultation. Ultimately it signs off the need and what we are going to build. At the end of the day, it mediates what gets built and for whom it is intended.
