Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Second Stage.
I can see why there are difficulties in other parts of the country. Developers can afford to do this in Dublin, but given that they do not get the same price for their properties in country areas, perhaps they should not be required to set aside the same percentage of land. This aspect needs to be looked at because I understand in many local authority areas developers are not submitting planning applications. The current provisions are working well in Fingal County Council, which I welcome as it will help to alleviate the problems.
