Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion

Mr. Colin Ryan:

They are generally issues that were taken into consideration in the making of the planning application but were not expressed in the decision itself. There could be issues about pollution or to do with rivers and tributaries of rivers that were taken into consideration in the broad assessment of the application but that were not referred to directly in the making of the decision, although they were clearly taken into consideration at the time. They are issues like that.

It is not that these issues were not taken into consideration; it is just that it was not clarified. Somebody has taken a case on the basis of very particular issues to do with that. Something was not named or considered. It is not to do with the changing of the overall decision; it has to do with the clarification of issues that were taken into consideration in the making of the decision.
