Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Conor O'Connell:

Absolutely, the density guidelines are definitely an issue. We are looking forward to the publication of the new compact growth guidelines that will allow us to achieve the high density required for compact growth and sustainable development, and hopefully the Deputy might be correct that some of those permissions for planning for apartments may never be able to be achieved because of the cost structures.
