The Sustainable Residential Development and Compact Settlements Guidelines for Planning Authorities set national planning policy and guidance in relation to the planning and development of urban and rural settlements, with a focus on sustainable residential development and the creation of compact settlements.
The Guidelines replace the Sustainable Residential Developments in Urban Areas-Guidelines for Planning Authorities issued as Ministerial Guidelines under Section 28 of the Act in 2009 (now revoked). They build on and update previous guidance to take account of current Government policy and economic, social and environmental considerations. The Guidelines expand on higher-level policies of the National Planning Framework, setting policy and guidance in relation to the growth priorities for settlements, residential density, urban design and placemaking and introduce development standards for housing.
The density ranges support the application of densities that respond to settlement size and to different place contexts, recognising in particular the differences between cities, large and medium sized towns and smaller towns and villages. The development standards for housing will allow for greater flexibility and innovation and support the delivery of a greater range of housing options.
Mr. Darragh O’Brien TD, Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage and Mr. Kieran O'Donnell, TD, Minister of State for Local Government and Planning have issued the Sustainable Residential Development and Compact Settlements Guidelines for Planning Authorities, pursuant to Section 28 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended. Section 28 provides that planning authorities and An Bord Pleanála shall have regard to Ministerial Guidelines and shall apply any specific planning policy requirements (SPPRs) of the Guidelines, within the meaning of Section 28 (1C) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) in the performance of their functions.
