Re Tallaght, compact growth may be necessary, as it is required by the National Planning Framework and it is more practical from a climate change point of view, particularly the extraordinarily dense housing that is planned for the REGEN area in Tallaght. However, it should be very high quality and great attention should be given to the overall design of the area as a coordinated whole that is attractive, so that it is somewhere that people want to live and a model that can be held up with pride. This would help to compensate Tallaght for the service it is providing for the whole county.
