- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Let me tease this out for a second. Obviously it is a planning decision as to whether the development is authorised. If the development is not authorised, the development has to cease. The issue then is whether the physical infrastructure of the development has to be dismantled and what happens if there has been significant damage to the surrounding built environment, natural environment...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Where is it set out in that section?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It is not even to strengthen it; it is more to be clear about what is available. At the moment I am thinking of 20 to 30 historical housing estates that are not taken in charge. Clearly a lot of those are finished but some of them are not finished in the sense that subsequent phases are with receivers. Obviously receivers are trying to ensure they get a return for their creditors. ...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Basically, my question is about the four weeks and the six weeks.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: So it is six weeks and a fine, and then an additional one week and a fine.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Yes, it is quite specific.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I want this to be crystal clear because the explanatory memorandum is not as clear as I am asking the Minister to be. Is this provision for what we commonly understand as retention and substitute consent - the Minister clearly addressed substitute consent - but not for what we commonly understand as retention?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: My next question was the subject of discussion previously. I ask the Minister to clarify something. The Cathaoirleach will remember this particular question, which I do not believe has been clarified yet. Section 126(3)(a) states: Where a person applies under this Chapter for retrospective consent for development, that person may also include in the application an application for...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: My question is very specific. It is just in order that I am clear. The phrase "consideration of the matters to which it is required to have regard pursuant to this Act" means all regular planning rules-----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)

- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I thought the Minister said page 262.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Is there anywhere in legislation, regulations or guidelines where "remedial measures" is defined? Defining it is probably the wrong thing to do because we do not want to be too prescriptive as we do not know what might happen in the real world. However, what about where there is guidance for local authorities or planning authorities when dealing with what "remedial measures" may or may not be?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Okay.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: This is quite important. There is obviously a standard statute of limitations on planning enforcement of seven years and we deal with that regularly. This is quite unique though, in the sense this is under a section where there is a refusal-----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: The Minister may not have the answer to the bit I am going to ask-----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I will ask first and the Minister can respond then. This is where there is a refusal or retrospective consent, that is, a retrospective consent application has been submitted and it is refused. The issue here is even where it is refused, after seven years the local authority has no powers whatsoever to introduce any requirements for remedial measures. This is crucial when we think about...

Eoin Ó Broin: Cool.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Sure.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (10 Apr 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I read it differently. What section 320(3) does is allow people to take enforcement action outside the normal statute of limitations of seven years.
