I acknowledge that I have misread the matter. The provision is at serious variance with how people have engaged with the planning process to date. This section is a monumental error and one that will cost. For example, local authorities will consider compliance matters at a later stage. They must interpret some of the conditions that will be applied without having an opportunity to avail of local indepth knowledge. I hold a different view on the matter from that of the Minister.
