Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)

Damien English: The main point was at the end. My comments might have been a bit long-winded. It is to do with the track record of the builder or the owner of the land in question and local knowledge as well. The planning authority will have the scope to take on board information it believes is relevant. We are not detailing exactly what that will be. Naturally, in making planning decisions, it is hoped...

Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)

In this regard and in the...

Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)

Damien English: I did say earlier that I would be willing to talk this through and discuss it with the Deputy. I know what he is trying to do and I accept the principle and the link is there. In my view and that of the Department, it is very clearly dealt with in other legislation and there is a public record of donations. I see what the Deputy is saying. He wants to strengthen the link, make it very...

Damien English: Amendments Nos. 75 and 81, and later on, amendment No. 97, which we will address again, should be viewed together as an anti-land hoarding package, although part of the text of amendment No. 97 is no longer needed after the enactment last July of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Act 2017. As signalled on Committee Stage of this Bill, I gave a commitment to bring forward provisions...

Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016: Report Stage (Resumed) (30 Jan 2018)

Damien English: I suppose I will work backwards. In our view the Bill does give the power to the planning regulator to do that. The Deputy calls it an investigation, we call it a review and examination of the systems and procedures, but it is the same thing. The power is there. Who deals with it afterwards? It is brought to the relevant authorities. That would happen in any system of justice. That...
