Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I concur with the other Deputies in this regard. As for commencements, what is the precise definition of "commencements"? Hoarding just goes up and a hole is dug in the ground. That is one of the problems we see, where buildings are pulled down and demolished in preparation for that commencement. That needs to be the case. Also, there needs to be a conclusion in order that if planning...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will try to be brief. I thank the Minister for providing clarification concerning what the commencement will look like and the regulations in that regard. Hopefully, we will have this universal approach that does not now exist. The other part of the question I asked concerned the completion date. We know that to get an extension it is necessary to have started a development. Is...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I will very briefly follow on. If a developer has got an extension and, at the end of ten years, has not completed the development, it is an unauthorised development, as the Minister stated. Does that developer have to go back to full planning permission, even though the development is near completion? The reason I ask is that a number of such developments in the area where I live were not...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Those are only minor amendments to the Minister's amendment.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The intention was to ensure notification was as quick as possible. It is not at odds with what the Minister presented in the list of who should be notified beyond the Maritime Area Regulatory Authority, MARA. I am not sure why amendment No. 4 to the Minister's amendment would be ruled out. It is logical that those who make submissions would be informed and notified as quickly as possible,...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: Amendments Nos. 2 and 3 to amendment No. 791 are related. We are prescribing that it be within one day. If it needs to be two days, then prescribe it as two days rather than leaving it open because it could be prescribed as a longer period. It needs to be as short as possible.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: We did not prescribe periods. It does not state “no more than three days” or “no more than five days”, for example.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: As I read amendment No. 1 to amendment No. 791 again, I understand what the Minister said about the concluding part. I refer to the wording here, which refers to "notification of the proceedings" rather than "commencement of the proceedings". If one takes it that there is an error regarding the date of conclusion, we can correct that afterwards. Is there a difference between the...

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: The Minister is referring to "the commencement".

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I am referring to "the notification".

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (11 Apr 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: I do not know whether there is a difference. Does the commencement happen once the notification is issued?
