‘Measuring what matters’ - Irish Development Plan Monitoring
As identified in the OPR's second research programme, 2023-2025, this theme builds on the OPR’s first area of planning research in 2020 titled ‘Measuring What Matters: Planning Outcomes’. That research was commissioned by the RTPI and co-funded by the OPR, the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (DHLGH) and governments of Scotland and Wales. As the first step in developing the theme of Development Plan Monitoring, the OPR held a workshop with key stakeholders in June 2024. The workshop built on the previous research and showcased new and highly innovative methods of communicating the essence of plans into measurable key objectives. An OPR Paper was produced which shares the key findings from the workshop, features case studies presented and identifies the next steps and key action areas in three core themes. Work is progressing on the development of a practice note based on the findings of the workshop and work to date.
