Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Paul Hogan:

Given that we have not produced the administrative scheme, we understand what it needs to do. It will have to be better than section 50B. At a very general level, we understand that the concept of such a scheme will be even more compliant with the Aarhus Convention in terms of access to justice that does not involved excessive cost.

We have reflected on the correction of error of fact point. It is something that we agree is quite loose at present and does need to be resolved. Certainly, the legal drafting team is of the same view. That will be revised and looked at.

The matter of the current rural and density guidelines is a matter for the Minister. I can confirm that-----
