In respect of the Poolbeg West STZ, the local planning authority increased the requirement for social and affordable housing above the regulated 10% figure. Will this be recognised under this amendment or is there a possibility of inserting in the planning guidelines the recognition of a local authority to increase the number of social and affordable houses above the 10% currently outlined in the STZ?Will this amendment allow that or could the amendment be expanded to allow the local authorities the power to expand beyond the 10% in an SDZ where there is a proven need for and shortage of housing?
