Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2021
Mr. Eamonn Kelly:
I will not pre-empt the report that the committee will put to us, but we are happy to consider it. By the way, those timelines are not in the Act. They are in the regulations, so it is open to us to extend them. As it currently stands, it is five weeks. It like any other planning application, but we might consider it in the context of the unusual nature and the extra layers of exceptionality that have to be considered. It is not something we would be opposed to, and we would certainly consider it.
