Mr. Joe Corr:

On the issues raised by Deputy Lahart, unfortunately, we are here to discuss a process rather than the communities in which housing will be delivered. As planners, we are focused on ensuring that we can deliver sustainable development and on place-making and building communities. These have the highest impact on quality of life for those people who seek stability through having a home established for themselves and their families. In terms of recreational space, amenities and so on, we do not want to see a return to the payment of a financial contribution in lieu of open space, such that when a local authority attempts to buy an open space it finds it is beyond its financial capabilities to do so. There are mechanisms in place to ensure that cannot happen in the future. I will now hand over to my colleague, Dr. Norton.
