Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government
Review and Consolidation of Planning Legislation: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Resumed)
Ms Maria Graham:
I will hand over to Mr. Ryan. There is case law around project splitting and ensuring that the totality of projects is known. The leading case in Ireland related to a wind farm where the grid connection was not taken into account. That is a fundamental piece of planning at the moment because sometimes there can be cumulative impact. It can be difficult if the timing of the applications is different. I cannot go into an individual case.
