Re: Re: Is part five of the planning and development act 2000achieving its aim

Gentlemen. Let’s focus on the question asked ” Is Part V achieving it’s aim” If the aim of Part V is to provide Affordable Housing then the answer is clearly No, as very few houses have been delivered.

However if the aim is to provide affordable Mercedes the answer is probably Yes. Bear in mind that it is at the discretion of housing officials as to whether a developer gets an exemption in exchange for cash and it would be naive to assume that said officials are not quietly shown some appreciation for decisions that are saving developers enourmous amounts of money.
