Abstract:
The structure of this article is shaped by the need to examine the land supply issue and
explore why its operations have failed to satisfy demand levels in the Greater Dublin Area
(GDA). The introduction and economic context are followed by an exploration of the
recent strategic planning and housing supply policies, including the housing strategies of
the four Dublin local authorities. This is followed by an examination of the resulting
housing and population trends. These trends are then explored from the perspective of
development and planning interests and conclusions are developed in light of the
quantitative and qualitative evidence presented .
The paper examines in particular the issue of the supply of development land from the
perspective of key participants in the development and planning processes. Included is an
examination of the provision of new housing under the housing strategies of the local authorities in the GDA. This quantitative analysis and review was supplemented by oral
interviews with key public officials. It was followed by individual structured interviews
with 15 key groups and organisations involved in the housing supply process, including
construction and housing development interests, planning and policy-making interests and
local authority interests. The purpose of this examination is to discern the issues and
conflicts surrounding the supply of development land and planning policy ambitions
regarding the provision of housing.
