Mr. John Spain:

It could do that at that time but not now. As there is no appeal process later on, it is important that the issues can be addressed fully in the plan making scheme and the board has the ability to change the scheme if it is considered necessary, having heard all the evidence from the different parties. If it is of that view, it should be able to make that change and, obviously, it would have to have regard to the view of the council in deciding what is the appropriate change. In terms of implementation, these are complex and large scale areas. Ms Mary Hughes mentioned the need for an annual review process within SDZs to review how the scheme is working and to see what changes are needed as it is being implemented, particularly in rapidly changing economic circumstances. Linked to that is the planning scheme and the funding process for development levies. There should be a much closer tie-in between the section 48 development levies and the planning scheme. Those levies raised within a planning scheme area should be spent within that area to provide the facilities in communities for the new development area itself and should be ring fenced.
