Joint Oireachtas Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government

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

Mr. Niall Byrne:

There was a judgment concerning Ballyboden that dealt with frequency, so public transport frequency and capacity will comprise a much bigger focus of planning submissions. It was an issue in the Ballyboden case. In future, planning applications will have to contain more detail on the frequency and capacity of public transport.
