Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Ms Mary Henchy:
I will just make one other point. Part 4, which is something that has not been concentrated on to a significant degree today, should be looked at carefully because that is where policy hits development management and what we must have regard to when making a decision on an application. The point that was made previously by the sector is that the development plan should be the primary document that we consider when assessing an application. I suggest that needs to be looked at carefully.
