- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: "Sequential" does not mean development can be outside the existing built-up footprint.
- 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 trying to understand what is "sequential". Because it is a national policy objective it has statutory impact.

Eoin Ó Broin: It is not like-----
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: We do not have it in Dublin but some local authorities have phased zoning and development plans. They might have tier 1 and 2 or phase 1 and 2 zoning. Is this what it relates to?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Okay but if it is within the existing built-up footprint you would not be leapfrogging because-----
- 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 speaking about the wording of national policy objective No. 7 with regard to 40%. It has been changed and reference has been added to ensuring compact and sequential growth patterns. I am trying to work it out.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Just so we are very clear, the use of the word "sequential" in this national development objective would not allow development outside of the existing built-up footprint.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I do not understand why it is in national policy objective No. 7, which has only to do with the 40%. It makes it sound as though the 40% has to be within the built-up footprint but then there is reference to "sequential". I do not get this.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: What you want is development closest to the existing settlement.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I will take real-world examples of Newcastle, Rathcoole and other such areas. Not everybody here knows them as well as I do but they will get my logic. If there is urban settlement and residentially-zoned land within the existing county development plan, the 40% must be in land within the existing built-up area or immediately beside it within the boundary and not the next bit out within the...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Steven Matthews: There cannot be leapfrogging within the built-up area.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: No, within the boundary. Compact growth will only be that which is closest to the existing built-up area.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Immediately contiguous to it.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I want to ensure I am clear on this. I know national policy objectives Nos. 8 and 9 have not changed and that 40% of the new homes are to be within the built-up footprint of existing settlements. Objectives Nos. 8 and 9 are separate. Objective No. 8 refers to delivering 50% of all new homes that are targeted in the five cities and suburbs of Dublin and the others, but not all of that 50%...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I get that but I am trying to understand it. Let us say the Taoiseach gets his way and there are 50,000 homes a year, as outlined. Of those homes that are being delivered in the cities, 50% have to be in the cities and suburbs, while 30% have to be in all of the other targeted settlements. That means 20% are not within any of those settlements. One would assume those are one-off houses....
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: The 50% there is not 50% of all of the new homes delivered in the State, it is just 50% of the new homes delivered in 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: It is a small thing but that could be read both ways in terms of its phrasing. I know it is not a change; they are the existing ones. It is almost like when you read the 50% and then the 30%, 50%, 60%, 70%, 80% and then you are adding the 20% for the one-offs. Ms Kenny is saying that is not how to read those percentages, however?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Steven Matthews: On that point, is there a graphic available? Can that be represented in graphic form? It sounds quite difficult to do but has the Department has considered that?
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Steven Matthews: I call Deputy Leddin.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Steven Matthews: I would say the officials thought they would be out in an hour when they saw there were only four of us here.
