Joint Oireachtas Committee on Environment, Culture and the Gaeltacht

General Scheme of Planning and Development (No. 1) Bill 2014: (Resumed) Discussion

2:25 pm

Mr. Tim Lucey:

I ask Mr. Richard Keating to deal with the questions on land valuations and the grouping of houses given that he is currently involved in negotiations with developers around Part V and the valuation of lands. Our senior planner, Mr. Andrew Hind, has experience of dealing with the issue of the 10% and affordability, most recently in the context of developing our own housing strategy for the next six years. He will be able to comment in depth on those issues.
