Public Accounts Committee

2019 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála

9:30 am

Mr. Dave Walsh:

I confirm that we are happy to provide a note, and we will follow up with the committee in due course. On the issue of phasing, when one looks at the analysis and the assessment of any application or appeal that comes before the board, we look at everything from national policy to regional and sectoral policies, especially the county development plans and local area plans, LAPs. We look at the status and zoning requirements, the supporting infrastructure, the traffic implications and all of these issues. Whether the land is phased or there are certain other aspects, these are all considerations that the board's inspectors would consider in their assessment and that the board will consider in its final decision. The short answer is "Yes". These issues are all considered when the board looks at these matters.
