Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Gavin Lawlor:

The question is whether the board can go back and change an error it has made without ultimately changing its decision, if there is a consequence to changing the error. If we think about the argument in a circular sense, it stops being an error and it is a minor error, an error in fact, it starts to become a fundamental problem whereby the development becomes something different than what was intended.
