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

Peter Burke: We need to be fair here.

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

Peter Burke: The reason is that section 18 triggers the obligation for the public participation statement, which is referenced in Article 9. It does exactly what Article 9 is suggesting. I appreciate that we all need to be good-humoured about this. Nobody is arguing the Minister should provide a list of everything that is reasonable and unreasonable. That is not how legislation works. Even we in the...

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

Peter Burke: On the triggering of a public participation statement, the position on DMAPs is set out clearly in page 197 of the national marine planning framework. On amendments to MSPs and designated marine area plans, DMAPs, the detail is in section 28 of the Bill. I said the article is about giving effect. That is my clear advice regarding public participation and the associated robust...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Marine Planning Area Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: Before dealing with this grouping, it might be helpful to the members to explain a little further how sections 21 - proposals for DMAPs - and section - 22 draft DMAPs, etc., - are intended to operate. I must initially advise the members of a referencing error in section 23 - public participation on DMAPs. Section 23(1) provides that the competent authority (D) shall publish its public...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Marine Planning Area Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: Amendment No. 108 proposes to delete “colocation” and substitute “coexistance” in section 22. I accept the principle of this amendment.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Marine Planning Area Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (4 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: I thank the Cathaoirleach. Amendment No. 110 proposes to remove the word "significant" from section 28(3)(c) in defining what is a non-material amendment. This seemingly small change would, in effect, make all amendments material, essentially removing all utility from this section. This section is intended to be a practical measure to correct minor errors and to introduce trivial tweaks...
