This amendment seeks to stipulate that when the Minister designates an amount of large-scale residential development, LRD, floor space which must be used for housing, the figure may only be higher than the 70% figure in this Bill. It is important that when we speak about LRD planning permission that it is used primarily to deliver housing and not for commercial interests. I have further amendments in respect of this which I will speak to regarding what the remaining 30% of land should be used for to foster sustainable communities. The crux of this amendment is what the Minister can stipulate in respect of that figure.
