Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill, 2002: Committee and Remaining Stages.
This process involves a trust which is based on legal imprimaturs, on housing strategy, on the law of the land and on what everybody wants to see included. In this section I have tried to reflect – in the best way possible but which the confines of relatively narrow criteria – that this has to be based on social criteria. I have no doubt that local authority members will be holding their managers and housing planners to account in respect of the sort of agreements that are being put in place in order to ensure that they obtain what the housing strategy has set out, namely, an underpinning of social integration in an area.
