Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: That is quite a different answer from the one I understood to have been given previously.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: If land was agriculture in 2019 and was rezoned as residential in 2020, it is within scope. However, previous development plans are not within scope. I am interested in the whole area of active land management because there are massive benefits to it, not only in the timely delivery of housing but also in the timely delivery of infrastructure. Done well, it can also have an impact on...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: On there being a multiplicity of landowners, there are issues in terms of master plans. The way they deal with that in the Netherlands is that when a CPO is imposed on land, if part of that land is designated by the landowner to be parkland, he or she gets compensated at an average price on the basis of what is being paid to the other landowners in that area where it might be a residential...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: On the option of infrastructure being provided instead of the 30% contribution or instead of land, Ms Mulhern said that is easier to apply where there is a local area plan or UDZ. It could be applied anywhere, however. There does not have to be a UDZ or local area plan. Is that correct?

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: The general scheme is fairly vague around the timing of that. It just talks about the planning authority setting conditions. I have a concern. When we had the previous crash, a significant number of development levies were not paid. They were subject to conditions. Much housing was built, but development levies were not paid. We do not want to be in a situation in a future scenario...

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: We all prefer upfront delivery, but regarding the legislation and the general scheme, will that preference for upfront delivery be worked into the legislation? I have a fear that, at a national level, this will all be set out well, but then when it comes down to local authorities, and the agreements, decisions and conditions they make, it could be too loose in some scenarios.

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (4 May 2023)

Cian O'Callaghan: The development plan can designate a whole area for a UDZ, and within that, the planning authority can say "detailed" in some of this. A particular owner or applicant can go ahead and start applying for planning permission anywhere within that UDZ, or if it is being designated for detailed-----
