I want to draw attention to one of the points Mr. Kelly made, which needs a lot of consideration. He said that limiting the further information that may be requested by planning authority may lead to more applications being refused. I would have huge concerns around that potential part of the legislation. The additional information process can be an important part of it, especially in relation to large, complex, detailed applications. It is often where issues are teased out and corrected, so that a planning application gets permission. I want to draw attention to that.
