Amendment No. 681 relates to page 225 of the Bill and refers to a development "causing or likely to cause significant negative impact on the local environment". That would actually be quite difficult to apply because I have not given a level of it. While I favour the spirit of amendment No. 681, I just do not think it is possible.

Amendment No. 707 relates to page 250 of the Bill. If a development requires a licence for emissions, discharges or emissions to air, that can be often covered under an integrated pollution control licence, a waste licence or a discharge licence to water. Can a planning authority attach conditions to an application with regard to emissions, even if there is an IPC or other type of emissions licence as part of that to the EPA?
