The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage has prepared a paper outlining the proposed policy approach towards a revision of the ‘Sustainable Residential Development Guidelines’ (2009) and their replacement with Sustainable and Compact Settlements Guidelines for Planning Authorities. The paper outlines how these Section 28 Guidelines now require replacement, noting the evolution of wider policy since their adoption, in particular, the National Planning Framework (2018).
Written submissions or observations are invited with respect to the proposed approach within the period referred to and will be taken into consideration before the finalisation of the draft guidelines.
