Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

General Scheme of the Planning and Development Bill 2022: Discussion (Resumed)

Mr. Kieran Kehoe:

It is like anything. It varies in relation the authority. In the more urban ones, there are a lot of section 5 declarations coming through. On enforcement, when a complaint is made it can be a mechanism of clarifying whether it is development or not. It is hard to say. It can vary based on location and based on the size of the authority.
