Committee on Infrastructure and National Development Plan Delivery

Role, Responsibilities and Processes of An Coimisiún Pleanála and Office of the Planning Regulator: Discussion

2:00 am

Mr. Niall Cussen:

The sequential approach is another way to put it. As my colleague Ms O'Connor reminded me, when we go through the development plans and they have been adopted and the lands are zoned, we are very much clearing the way for all of those lands to come forward through the normal development management process. We have been through that whole point around the sequential approach and how best to shape the long-term development of an area. There are issues that probably should not arise that have arisen in the past about which piece jumps first. The Deputy raised a broader debate that we hear from time to time about how we are in a housing crisis, so let the brakes off and just zone it.
