Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework (Resumed): Discussion

3:00 pm

Mr. George Hussey:

In terms of the new built-up areas, the CSO data for new dwelling completions show something of the order of 70% in the past year - I am sorry; I cannot remember the precise number - were within one of the many built-up areas there. We do not have a specific figure in mind but we do have a body of evidence that suggests we need to be pushing harder for higher levels. There are a very significant number of built-up areas in the CSO definition. I think there are 860-something built-up areas in the definition.
