- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: I will do my best. I will read the information I have on it. The Bill is to establish an updated marine spatial planning toolkit that will now include DMAP procedures.

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: There is detailed clarification in section 32, but every application would have to be assessed against the conditions set out in the marine planning framework. It is not that we will have one sector in the maritime area, at the cost of all other users or all other conditions. The Minister will have to make a determination based on the shared vision for the NMPF, policy, that the proposal...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)
Peter Burke: It is open to any committee, in theory, to have a query or say on the DMAP, or consideration of it. On the Deputy's question regarding the instigation of a DMAP, each one would have its own separate public participation statement. Again, in the first instance, the DMAP is on a more micro level.
