Mr. Philip Jones:

Yes, whereas if it were simply to use the text from the current Act and include an additional item, the planning authority could put a notice in the newspaper and on its website stating it had made a declaration in respect of a given property and a given date and allow four weeks to make a submission to the board. That would resolve the problem for anyone who is not happy with it because then they will know about it, and that is the problem with the current aspect. It is a small problem but it is simple to resolve.
