Development plan housing site identification
Development plans must identify housing sites for settlements using the policy direction in PPS 12, local circumstances, and conformity with the RDS, which sets a regional target of 60% for urban housing growth in cities and towns over 5,000 population up to 2010.
The development plan will identify sites for housing to meet the requirements for individual settlements taking into account the policy direction outlined in this PPS. It will also take account of local circumstances, other relevant planning considerations, and need to be in general conformity with the RDS. The RDS sets a regional target of 60% for the period up to its first review in 2010, for the location of urban housing growth within existing urban areas of cities and towns of over 5,000 population.
