Regional Development in Ireland: What Worked/Didn’t Difference? Plan Led vs Speculative development…

Improving Planning in Ireland and Regional Development Ensuring right development happens in right places and at right time Co-ordinating public and private sector activity to create the conditions where enterprise and job creation flourishes Anticipating and meeting needs of all sectors/community: Employment, Housing, Infrastructure, Environment, Community Focus: building communities strengthening economies, alignment of investment priorities (Irish Water and planning dimension)

Transformative Developments in Spatial Planning National Level:NSS(2)/National Planning Framework - Creation of Irish Water Regional Level: Regional Assemblies Regional Spatial and Economic Strategies Local Level: City/County Plans (Spatial – Place based) Local Economic and Community Plan (Actions) Governance:National Oversight Audit Commission Office for Planning Regulation

Regional Development Dimension to Water Services 8 Regional Authorities and 2 Assemblies to be replaced by 3 Regional Assemblies – West/Northwest – Southern – Eastern – Midland Key Task: Preparation of Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy to replace current regional planning guidelines from 2016 onwards Extensive existing analysis (Regional Indicators Report) Irish Water planning regions align

Regional Indicators Report 2013

Planning process and Irish Water must work together as provided for under Water Services Act 2014 Scope to enhance WSA 2014 providing through “Assessment of Spatial Planning Requirement” Alignment of Planning and Irish Water Investment

The Development Plan and Water Services Investment  Mapping of Resources, Significance, Sensitivities [Ecology, Heritage, Flooding, Scenery]  Description of population targets and growth areas  Mapping of Zoning and Objectives [landuse, Infrastructure]  Zoning confined to urban areas  Environmental Assessment [SEA and AA]  Needs certainty around timing of infrastructure delivery!!

A Word on the Dublin Housing Task Force… Housing Agency report on Future Housing Requirements projects that a minimum of 37,700 dwellings are required in Dublin over the next 5 years Immediate supply requirement of 5,663 units in 2014 in the Dublin Region, which rises to a per annum requirement of 8,970 units in 2018 Dublin: immediately available for development - 12,785 houses and 7,925 apartments = circa. 3 years supply Further study necessary

Planning Bill 2014: Assessment of Spatial Planning Requirement 1.IW/LA/RA work together to determine key spatial policy requirements (DECLG co-ordination and CER input) 2.NSS/RPG: strategic context, take account of likely development – housing, employment, environmental quality objectives – and objectives in relation to spatial balance and patterns of spatial development 3.Identify the critical water services related infrastructure requirement and summarise nationally/regionally 4.Input to Water Services Strategic Plan

Summary Reform of local government, planning, water services delivery - opportunity for more strategic/effective approach WS Planning and Spatial Planning process need to take account of each other in an iterative and integrated manner (much initial work complete) Opportunities: Water Services Strategic Plan and future National Planning Framework/Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy Planning Bills 2014 will further develop legislative framework
