2019 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála

Mr. Dave Walsh:

The fee for processing is separate from any judicial review. As set down in the legislation, the board will incur and recoup the cost that it has spent in dealing with it. In many instances, where applications are perhaps overturned or the court rules on it, most of those cases are remitted back to the board. In those cases, the process is that the case is up for reconsideration to address the issues.
