Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Mr. Kevin Kelly:
I am missing some of the other items but I suppose the trend has been to include more of the local area plans and the zoning in the county plan. That is a requirement now, if my reading of the Bill is correct. That adds to the complexity because then everybody is forced to deal with all these zonings in a number of different towns. Notwithstanding that you have the other plan framework, my understanding is the zoning will still be in the primary plan and, therefore, that adds to the complexity of dealing with a development plan and the timeframe it takes.
