I have a follow-up question about the forward-facing planning application that would be judged after the substitute consent application and would also be done by An Bord Pleanála. Would those cases always have gone to An Bord Pleanála or would some previously have gone to the local authority? I am getting at the two-stage planning process whereby people have an opportunity to make submissions at two stages. Are we in any way getting rid of a single stage there?
