Mr. Gavin Lawlor:

It is not just about price. It is one of the impediments. It is not just about ease in terms of greenfield sites. There is a way it can be done, which is to get rid of all greenfield zoning and have only brownfield zoning. The problem is that we have a housing crisis where we must deliver 50,000 houses. We have to formulate what the correct balance is. If we are going to look at greenfield development, we have to encourage developers to build not A-plus rated houses but passive housing, looking at low-carbon solutions in those areas, and only developing greenfield sites that have existing transport or have transport tied in with them going forward. There needs to be more engagement in this regard if it is going to be restricted in this way. There is a balance in the deliverability of units. If the target is 50,000 houses, and if Ms O'Connor is correct that the amount of zoned land will provide 46,000, then we are in big trouble.
