There is some wonderful language in the national planning framework, NPF, and many mentions of sustainable development. On the other hand, the NPF pushes roads and other projects that are not consistent with climate change policy. An Bord Pleanála has a difficult job, which is why I am asking how it deals with all its requirements. With each report on climate change the window has narrowed more and more.
