Concerns have been raised that a draft government plan on cutting emissions in the transport sector would see the construction of rural housing discouraged through tax measures.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The Department of Transport has published a draft document titled Moving Together: A Strategic Approach to Improved Efficiency of the Transport System in Ireland<\/em>, which makes several recommendations on how to reduce emissions in transport.<\/p>\n\n\n\n The document – which is set to be put to public consultation later this month – suggests that ‘brownfield’ developments – which have been built on previously – should be prioritised over ‘greenfield’ developments – which haven’t been built on – in the provision of housing.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
