Perhaps it needs to be legislated for. Ms Buckley made reference to that. Is there a system or a way of segregating new housing developments from individual planning complaints and concerns so they are not all in one bundle? Having all those developments lodged in with the small-scale issues is to me unacceptable. I cannot see from a financial point of view how that stacks up or represents prudent use of the limited resources An Bord Pleanála has. Does it not make sense to separate them?
