There is no proposal in the heads to extend the timeframes for the public participation elements despite the fact that substitute applications, by their very nature, are much more complex than an ordinary planning application.

To assess them and make an informed submission, from a full participation point of view, would take a great deal of time. Will Mr. Kelly consider extending those timeframes and will he look at an additional period of at least three months for public participation, which I believe would be needed to be able to make a proper contribution as part of the process?
