- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: That is what I am asking. I am trying to find the page. I refer to the amended document.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: That is great. While I am finding the page, will Mr. Hogan clarify the targets?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I am asking about the compact growth targets.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Will Mr. Hogan go through that again? The figure is 40% within existing settlements.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Of that 40%, half has to be within the cities-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Will Mr. Hogan explain the 30%?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Is Mr. Hogan saying the target is that 60% of new homes will not be within existing settlements?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I understand this target is not a new one.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It was in the original NPF.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: To clarify, 60% of all new homes will be either new suburban developments on greenfield sites on the edge of cities, towns or villages or one-offs in countryside areas?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Was there any analysis, as part of the publication of the review draft, that looked at what has been built from 2018 to the present which met the original objectives?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Will Mr. Hogan share that with us? That will be interesting. It would not have planned for 40% of all new homes within existing settlements.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Mr. Fulcher said it is up to 40%. What is the aggregate figure State-wide from 2018 to whenever the research was published?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Was it published by the CSO?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: A specific case which Mr. Hogan will know well is what has been happening in Dublin city and county over the past number of years. Clearly, the vast majority of new residential development has been on the county side of the M50. Adamstown SDZ and Clonburris are examples. That counts as compact growth because it is within existing settlements and plans. Comparatively speaking, very little...

Eoin Ó Broin: Am I out of time or was the clock on at all?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Steven Matthews: The Deputy is out of time. He can come back in if he wishes. He hit on something, namely, zoning within that compact area rather than having it all as the settlement. It starts to spread and then that becomes a settlement.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: My point is slightly different. There is a reason for setting targets and it is why targets are there. Targets guide Government policy because this is a high-level strategic document. Based on the definition of compact growth within the national planning framework from its outset, Dublin, for example, meets that target. When we look at exactly where the growth is and whether it is as...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Steven Matthews: I will go next. A lot of the conversation we are having involves different views and opinions on planning, growth, how investment reflects on employment and, in turn, how that creates a population that desires to live in a place. That suggests to me that planning is not an exact science. It is our best attempt to look at the most sustainable way to grow an area. We must factor in things...
