Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.

 

It is for these reasons that I cannot accept the amendment. I have placed my argument within the context of the local housing strategies of the local authorities. There is a very serious issue for members and officials of local authorities in terms of ensuring that the social integration provisions laid out in their development plans cannot be avoided. It cannot be a case of a developer finding 200 or 300 acres somewhere else and pretending that it fulfils the 20% provision or meets the social integration requirements. Local authorities will not accept that and neither will I.
