Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Ms Jane Doyle:

We welcome the ten-year period because so much information goes into those development plans and so much resourcing goes into them. However, it is important that the mid-term review will be a proper mid-term review. In some cases, it will be a matter of taking out full sections and reviewing them in line with socioeconomic changes, population changes and retail changes. There are so many different issues that need to be addressed that we are a little concerned that it could be the case that the mid-term review could be an easy paper exercise. We think it needs to be really clear.
