I ask the Department to consider removing it. We will make a strong case for doing so.

Regarding curtailment of outline planning permission, outline planning permission gives a sense of certainty but I understand that small blocks of up to four houses will not be affected by this. I say that in the context of the rural housing guidelines. Despite all the promises, we still do not have rural housing guidelines. This has been going on for years. I need to be clear. What pressures were brought to bear on the Department regarding curtailing certain outline planning permissions? Can Mr. Hogan share that information with us?
