14 NOTICE OF MOTIONS (a) Motion by Councillor Lawrence O’Neill - National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) This Council is asked to note that: National Planning Framework 4 (NPF4) gives broad support for a range of house types to meet all needs of the community which include bungalows or dwellings on ground floor level. NPF4 does not however provide any detail on how this can be achieved or delivered and that this creates a difficulty as in planning legislation there is no distinction of house types with the exception of flats and houses. Council acknowledges that this creates a real difficulty for council planning authorities to require developers to provide a range of house types through the planning process. Council is aware of numerous observations particularly from elderly/disabled constituents as regards the shortage of bungalows on the housing market and near absence of such in new housing developments. Council therefore agrees to request the Chief Executive to write to the Planning Minister requesting this deficiency is addressed through a change to planning legislation and regulations to allow planning authorities to require specific house types in considering planning applications or in the allocation of sites in Local Development Plans.
