Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

Review and Consolidation of Planning Legislation: Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage (Resumed)

Mr. Colin Ryan:

There certainly would be a review process and monitoring is also an issue. We brought this up in regard to the development plan guidelines that were recently published. They would reflect SEAs as well. The SEA must be done for the period of the plan. It is an assessment of the likely effects on the environment.
