Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...is actually happening. This is not an attempt to get at people who are genuinely putting forward legitimate planning or development proposals. However, where people are knowingly hoarding land for the purposes of speculation on the appreciation of land that could be used for housing, measures have to be taken to address that. There are different ways of going at this. I am in favour...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: ...a review after five years. A planning permission duration of five years is appropriate in that instance. We are bringing forward measures, as the Deputy will be aware, such as the residential zoned land tax and separately, uplift in values and zoning and land value sharing, which is also a significant change we are making. While I understand his motivation, a reduction from five to two...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...development and the number of commencements. The IGEES report is a strong piece of evidence produced by, I think, the Department of public expenditure and it pointed explicitly to speculation and land hoarding as a serious problem that the authors believe explains the disparity between the number of planning permissions granted and the number of commencements. We are all aware that...

Richard Boyd Barrett: ...comes in the groupings, but I will flag that we have tabled a connected amendment that talks about use-it-or-lose-it provisions, essentially if it is clearly evident that people are speculating and land hoarding, that there would be a mechanism to transfer such land that may be suitable and is urgently needed for residential development into the hands of the local authority. It is...

Cian O'Callaghan: ...to that. If the planning permissions that were granted were all built in a timely manner, our housing situation would be completely different. It would be transformed. It is not all down to land speculation and land hoarding, but it is one element, as was identified by the report Deputy Boyd Barrett mentioned by the Department of Public Expenditure, NDP Delivery and Reform. I can...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Ivana Bacik: ...to see this level of uncommenced planning permissions. There are multiple reasons for delays. When engaging with stakeholders, we hear about costs of construction and labour shortages. However, land speculation remains a key issue. Certainly in the Dáil Chamber, I have pointed out concerns around abuse of the planning system but where we continue to perpetuate this system of...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: ...Deputy would come back to me, and rightly so, asking why can this housing development not be built out or why has it not started. There are other measures we are bringing forward around the residential zoned land tax, the land value sharing and the State getting the uplift on the rezoning value, which is also very important. There are also restrictions that I am going to bring in here...

Ivana Bacik: ...for local communities arises from vacant and derelict retail sites or community amenities that have been left vacant. Reducing the duration of planning permission and the period someone can sit on land where planning permission has been granted will have a positive impact on vacancy and dereliction, whether the planning permission has been granted for residential use or not. While I...

Cian O'Callaghan: ...stages around the process. Has any analysis been done around this context that is informing the times referred to in this Bill? The Minister was also just talking about bringing in the land value sharing measures and uplift. Initially, we were told that these measures might form part of the Bill. They do not currently do so. Will the Minister be seeking on Report Stage, or later, to...

Cian O'Callaghan: ...hands are not completely tied by contractual commitments but they must have regard to contractual commitments. It is an unusual provision in planning law. There is nothing comparable to this in land-based development. As the Minister of State has confirmed, it is maritime only.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Cian O'Callaghan: But if this were a good way to do planning why is it restricted to maritime? Why is it not being done on land?

Before the údarás Gaeltarra Éireann was involved in housing and the údarás has announced, with the backing of the Government, that it will look at using some of its lands to facilitate the provision of social and affordable housing in Gaeltacht areas. The údarás has announced three sites. It would be...

Malcolm Noonan: ...goes back to the question posed by Deputy Ó Snodaigh as well. I listened to some of that debate yesterday on Údarás na Gaeltachta where 12 pilots would not qualify because they do not own any land with Údarás na Gaeltachta. The land has to be owned by the local authority or another specified body and the list is-----

Malcolm Noonan: It is not an exhaustive list. We will check that out, if that is okay because there is a list under 4(d) there. This includes if the land has been sold for residential development; if the proposed development does not materially contravene the development plan or the local area plan for the area; if the proposed development is in accordance with the relevant local authority's housing...
