Where’s the Evidence? NSS & RPGs- new in Irish planning plan cycle; creating a nationally adopted coordinated approach to planning for new populations National Development Plan, NTA/T21 & WSIPs- clarity on where infrastructure is/will be going Designated areas/places for protection- natura, built heritage, protected landscapes River Basin Management Plans, water source protection plans – Decisions now made within a framework

Key Inputs into Decision Making Flood risk SEA AA Population demand Economic Requirements Government Guidance Proofing- Rural, Disability, Poverty, Language… EU Directives National Policy Regional Policy Community Councillor Local Business EU Directives National Policy Regional Policy Community Councillor Local Business Are we yet costing decisions on zoning and policies fully from an economic, environmental and social cost ? Are all decisions made fully informed? Are we yet costing decisions on zoning and policies fully from an economic, environmental and social cost ? Are all decisions made fully informed?

Extract of DoEHLG Guidance on Development Plans (page 77)

Councillors & Decision Making Challenge of focusing limited growth- in era of emigration- can core strategies bite the bullet Necessity to look at Cost Benefit Analysis approach to achieve sustainable solutions Role of SEA in plan decision making- is it failing to achieve its primary goal? How can executive assist councillors both to deliver an “evidence-based” plan and also recognise community issues?
