National Asset Management Agency: Financial Statements 2016 and 2017
Comptroller and Auditor General Special Report No. 102: National Asset Management Agency Second Progress Report

9:00 am

Mr. Brendan McDonagh:

Yes. There were some sites within the commuter belt that required planning permission, and we had to revert to local authorities to have the conditions attached to those permissions changed. I will give one example that we have since resolved by working with the local authority, but it took a while. Fair dues to the local authority; it resolved it. One of the planning conditions attached to the site was that, although 200 houses could be built on it, none of them could be sold until we funded the delivery of a traffic light system 1 km away from the site on land we did not own.
