I refer to development levies. Do they make local authorities which are supposed to be adjudicating on this issue in the wider national interest partners in allowing projects to go ahead?

I am thinking of the case of Meath County Council in rezoning parts of Carton which were turned down by An Bord Pleanála. The incentive for the council and the officials was that there would be loot for the local authority.
