It is becoming increasingly complex, considering European and a host of other requirements and the matter of trying to work to a relatively compressed timeline. We pointed out to the members of the Joint Committee on Housing, Local Government and Heritage the potential for ten-year development plans under the new Bill. With the creation of a ten-year development plan in the same period as a shorter development plan in an ever more complex area, something will give, whether it be proper public participation, the feeding in of a range of assessments or something else.
