I believe that the entire fee system for planning needs to be looked at.

The area members' meeting with local councillors was one of the positive things about SHDs. This is when the local authority planners would come to the county council or municipal district meetings to present the plan. This was very helpful for councillors and would also feed into the submission made by the chief executive or the planners to An Bord Pleanála. That was one of the positives. Another positive with the SHD applications was that the websites that often accompanied many of these applications were of quite good quality and often much easier to navigate than the local authority planning websites under normal section 34 applications. Does Mr. Kelly believe those websites are something that should continue under the LSRD?
