On 8th April 2025, the Government has approved the Revised National Planning Framework (NPF) which, subject to the approval of both Houses of the Oireachtas, signals the conclusion of the NPF revision process which has been underway since June 2023.
This milestone decision confirms the national policy approach for Ireland’s growth and development to 2040, creating the policy environment to release unlocked potential and address critical priorities, in particular housing, infrastructure and climate. The implementation of NPF policies is given effect through the actions of a broad range of public and private bodies, including homebuilders, the renewable energy sector, infrastructure agencies and domestic and international investors.
