Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Robin Mandal:

In the current Act, it is there for any application. Any application can be made for outline planning permission. To restrict it effectively to one-off housing, which is not a good thing in environmental terms, seems pointless. If it is there, and I believe it should be there, it should be for all applications because, just as the Senator said, it is instead of going to the expense of a full application. That should be there for everyone.
