The Government has approved publication of the general scheme (draft heads) of the Land Value Sharing and Urban Development Zones Bill 2022.
The general scheme provides for:
- local authorities to secure a proportion of the increase in land values arising from public decisions to zone land for development including housing, or subject to an Urban Development Zone designation
- designation of Urban Development Zones which have potential for significant development for housing and other purposes.
These proposed measures have been developed further to the objectives set out in Housing for All, the Government’s national plan on housing to 2030, and for the State to secure a greater share of community gain from the planning and development process.
An explanatory memo and a regulatory impact assessment regarding this General Scheme have also been prepared and are included here.
