- 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...
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
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)
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)
Eoin Ó Broin: I am looking at objectives Nos. 7, 8 and 9. The word "sequential" is being inserted. Does this really mean "suburban"? Does sequential mean moving out of the built-up footprint of 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: It means "contiguous with".
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: This basically means suburban sprawl.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: But it does mean suburban.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It has to be sequential.
- Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Consultation on the Draft National Planning Framework: Discussion (11 Jul 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: This is a significant change. National policy objective No. 7 will no longer be that 40% of all new homes have to be in existing settlements. They will either have to be in the existing settlements or immediate contiguous to those settlements but outside the current boundaries of the 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: "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.
