In 2006, the Centre for Housing Research, which is funded by my Department and local authorities, produced good practice guidelines on this matter entitled Regenerating Estates, Rebuilding Vibrant Communities. These guidelines, which are available on the Centre for Housing Research website, www.chr.ie, contain detailed recommendations to assist housing authorities in implementing regeneration strategies for their estates. More generally, my Department considers proposals for housing regeneration having regard to the individual requirements of the estate and the overall objective of building sustainable communities.
