Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development (Amendment) (LSRD) Bill 2021: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage

Mr. Paul Hogan:

As far as I can see, I understand that it is simply to prevent legal challenge of every little thing just because there might be a dispute or a disagreement at the pre-planning stage in respect of something that is not covered, and that there would be no foothold for someone who has an issue. That could be the first party as much as the third party in this instance.

I am not too sure on the issue of compensation so I will ask Mr. O'Sullivan or Ms Gallagher to come in on that.
