Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Deputy McAuliffe's amendment speaks to a query I had. It is a question I will ask repeatedly. Will the Minister of State put on the record what is substantively different in this section from what was in the primary legislation in the 2000 Act? Deputy McAuliffe pre-empted the question by having a clear sense of it. Specifically, what is not provided for here that was provided for in the...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: From my reading of section 9(1), there might be a period of time when the 2000 Act is repealed and the 2024 Act and this section of it are not enacted. This is a transitional mechanism to deal with that area, as in, things exempt under the 2000 Act will continue to be so until such time as the new Act comes into force. Are we sure there are not any lacunae that could lead to a development...

Eoin Ó Broin: This amendment relates to exempted developments. The relevant section I am looking to amend states: Development (other than development that is exempted development by virtue of subsection (1) or (2) of section 146) shall not be exempted development for the purposes of this Act if— (a) in the case of a protected structure or a proposed protected structure, it materially affects or...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

The alleyways are of particular historical significance as they are how the volunteers made their...
