Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)
Dr. Se?n O'Leary:
Let me refer to the Chairman's question on the definition. Section 1A(j) states, "ensure that, in the making of statutory plans and consent decisions under this Bill, there is a balance between the social, economic and environmental considerations of sustainable development in the interests of the common good". The Chairman may have views on the weighting or the interpretation of "sustainable development", but it is a matter of the three classic pillars.
