A clear timeframe needs to be inserted. Proceeding with a a planning application running at the same time as an application to remove a condition on noise is again cumbersome. That has been acknowledged by Mr. Gallagher. I think he used the word "clunky" but clunkiness can cost money and cause delay. That needs to be revisited and the need for it examined. I am not a technical expert but reading through EU Regulation 598/2014, there does not appear to be any planning requirements. The appeal will be made to the one body.
