Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: General Scheme of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed) (16 May 2023)

...purchase orders, CPOs, to acquire land, taking into account the land value contribution. We have said that we think it should apply, not just within a UDZ, but to all. That goes back to the idea from the Kenny report that a local authority should be enabled to engage in active land management. Certainly, when there is a whole pile of different landowners and one is trying to get...

...can talk members through one section of the draft Bill and what it means. Certainly, from a personal perspective as a planner who went through planning school quite a while ago, finally to see the Kenny report possibly being made real in some sort of way, having gone through constitutional issues and all sorts of stuff, indicates that the intentions behind this Bill are welcome. It is...

...will want to develop rather than lose control over their land which the local authority would have to do. The irony is, as Mr. O’Leary said, I went to planning school back in the 1970s when the Kenny report was there, but at that time everybody felt it was not going to happen because it was unconstitutional. The change was in 2000 when the Supreme Court Article 26 decided that...

Cian O'Callaghan: ...public process of rezoning or change of use and indeed public investment in infrastructure, are we selling ourselves short by not trying to get a larger amount of that value, as was envisaged in the Kenny report? I take the point that progress is progress, not disputing-----

Eoin Ó Broin: ..., the developers, to activate land, or, if they are clearly not going to do that, to allow the State to acquire that land at an even more significant discount. I know they are not the same, but the Kenny report suggested existing use value plus 25%. The general scheme refers to market value minus 30% of the uplift. I am trying to think which is the better deal for the taxpayer. There...

Mr. Philip Jones: I believe that is probably a very fair guess but it is not in the sprit of the Kenny report at all.

Steven Matthews: The Waterford planning school. I refer to the Kenny report. Much later on, in around 2009, the windfall tax was brought in for zoning. Now we have this. Can Mr. Jones recall the reasons the windfall tax was not retained or was not successful? That was an attempt to curtail overzoning at the time, as I remember it.

...principle that the planning system is there to advance the interests of the common good and ensure that development takes place in the public interest, and this has been recognised since the Kenny report of the mid-1970s. I have some remarks on the land value sharing aspects of the general scheme. As discussed in our previous evidence to the committee, and as highlighted in the...

Steven Matthews: I thank Dr. O'Leary, Mr. Keran and Mr. Jones for giving considerable time to us here. It is very helpful for us. It is important legislation. We are seeing aspects of the Mr. Justice Kenny report recommendations at last, 50 years on.
