Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion
Ms Mary Jones:
I will take some of the Deputy's questions and others can come in if I miss any of them. Timelines are to be added to the Bill. They must be considered for the board and as part of development plans. There are a couple of other areas where timelines will need to be included. Part 16, which relates to events and funfairs, will replicate the equivalent Part in the current Act. It needs to be inserted. Transitional provisions will be included for how we move from the current Act to the new Bill. There will a Part to address that point. As the Deputy will be aware, there is other legislation relating to land value sharing and urban development zone, UDZs. Depending on how that progresses, it may be incorporated into this Bill. We may have one Bill or those other considerations may travel separately. A decision is to be made in that regard. We will have to see how things move on.
