Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. John Spain:

Yes. If judgments put in place an interpretation of a guideline that is not consistent with the intention behind that guideline in the first place, perhaps because of the way it was drafted, that causes difficulties going forward in the assessment of planning applications. The guidelines need to be then clarified in order to state what is meant and how it should work going forward.
