Local housing need for returning emigrant

Grew up in local area (County Galway), moved abroad for over a decade and now moving home with young kids. Applying for planning permission needing to satisfy local housing need so presumably fall into returning emigrant section of development plan. But how do I prove local housing need if I am returning (as opposed to returned), I.e. I’m still living abroad and planning to move when I get planning. Is it enough to say I’ll find local employment once I get planning, or do people need a job offer to support the move, etc.? Any advice or similar experience would be great as it seems like a poorly documented and grey area.
