Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)
Darragh O'Brien (Dublin Fingal, Fianna Fail) | Oireachtas source
Amendment No. 1166 proposes that prior to proposing to make a variation of a development plan under section 523, a planning authority shall publish a pre-designation consultation paper and consult with the public - and here is the change - and "landowners, enterprise and employers located within the site" in accordance with this section. The existing wording requires consultation with the public. This includes those mentioned and does not specifically identify groups, such that precise wording would have to be introduced for other stakeholders. Basically, I am saying that the current wording provides for that already.
