Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
I am determined that this new flexibility in Part V will not lead to builders providing new estates at the edges of communities with no social links or infrastructure. I will be setting firm guidelines for local authorities as to the types of alternative arrangements that will be acceptable in terms of social integration. The agreement's potential contribution towards achieving the objectives of the housing strategy and how quickly housing is likely to be provided as a consequence of the agreement will also be considerations for the local authority.
