Options for Compliance with Part V

Part V provides for a number of options for an agreement between the Developer and the Planning Authority such as:

a) The transfer of a portion of the site the subject of the application
b) The transfer of completed dwellings on the site the subject of the application
c) The transfer of fully or partially serviced sites on the site the subject of the application
d) The transfer of land at another location
e) The transfer of completed dwellings at another location.
f) The transfer of serviced sites at another location
g) The payment of a monetary contribution

An agreement may provide for a combination of any of the above. The transfer of completed dwellings, sites or land will be to the Planning Authority or persons nominated by the Planning Authority such as an Approved Housing Body (see chapter 11 in the guidelines below). The Planning Authority will indicate in so far as is known at that time the proposed use of the transferred dwellings, sites or land. 

The Planning Authority is obliged under Part V in assessing a proposal to have regard to its Housing Strategy and the objectives of its Development Plan.
