- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: That relates to any decision of any planning authority.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Amendment No. 753.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Unless Deputy Cian O'Callaghan would like to come in first, I will ask some questions.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I have two different sets of questions on this. With respect to the change in the timeline from two or three working days to five days across the three groups of amendments, other than giving the OPR a little more time to circulate, is there any other legal significance to the change in the timeline or is it just to give it an extra two or three days to circulate?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: With respect then to the different formula of words in amendments Nos. 299, 523 and 578, instead of stipulating-----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: And amendment No. 578. Instead of stipulating a number of days, the formulation "shall, as soon as practicable" is used.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: If I understood the Minister of State correctly, he indicated that this all relates to the compliance of the regional assembly with the direction. What does the phrase "as soon as practicable" mean? I presume the Minister of State is saying that three working days is too short. How is that determined and who decides it?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: To be clear, I am not making the case that it should be changed.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: It is just for clarity. The issue here is----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I ask the Minister of State to bear with me for a second. I know he is eager to answer the question I am asking, but he should at least let me ask it. When we talk about compliance, there are two aspects involved. One is that the spatial and economic strategy has to be physically altered. The text of it has to be altered and published. Compliance can also mean decisions arising out of...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Just the alteration and publication of the text.
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Correct me if I am wrong, but in the context of amendment No. 715, we have a situation where the only hard-and-fast statutory timelines in our planning process, outside of LRD, are those that local authorities have to apply. We are introducing - and we will get into the detail of the timelines when we get to the relevant sections - statutory timelines for all different phases of the process....
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: I have a couple of supplementary questions. Let me get this right. The Minister of State is saying that this provision exists in exactly the same manner in the existing Planning and Development Act 2000? If I submit a standard planning application to a local authority, the Minister of State is saying that a local authority can come to me and seek a voluntary extension of the-----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: That is not my question. Is that provision, exactly as the Minister of State has described it, currently available to me?
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: Just so I am clear, that was not my question. Given that the Minister of State said at the start that in the main, these four amendments are really a provision for the planning authority-----
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: The Minister of State absolutely said that both the applicant and the planning authority could avail of this. He said that very clearly. However, he then went on to say - I cannot remember his exact words - that this is a provision that the planning authority may choose to avail of if it needs some extra time. Under the Planning and Development Act 2000, if I have a standard planning...
- Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (20 Mar 2024)
Eoin Ó Broin: My understanding is that a planning authority cannot do that currently but I will stand corrected if it is in the Act.
