Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: I will do my best. I will read the information I have on it. The Bill is to establish an updated marine spatial planning toolkit that will now include DMAP procedures. Step one is the enactment. As is the case elsewhere in the EU, national plans come first, followed by sub-national planning which may take many forms. Under the legislation, it is envisaged that over time there will be an...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: No. We do not see it as a race. We see it as bodies that have to coexist in our maritime area and trying to achieve the best for it.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: There is detailed clarification in section 32, but every application would have to be assessed against the conditions set out in the marine planning framework. It is not that we will have one sector in the maritime area, at the cost of all other users or all other conditions. The Minister will have to make a determination based on the shared vision for the NMPF, policy, that the proposal...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Maritime Area Planning Bill 2021: Committee Stage (Resumed) (2 Nov 2021)

Peter Burke: It is open to any committee, in theory, to have a query or say on the DMAP, or consideration of it. On the Deputy's question regarding the instigation of a DMAP, each one would have its own separate public participation statement. Again, in the first instance, the DMAP is on a more micro level. The NMPF sits at the top of the tree, with the policy statement on top of that. We then get...

Peter Burke: The Minister would make the decision based on the quality of the proposal and how it meets the requirements of the NMPF. He or she would also encourage other bodies that coexist to come together in line with the policy requirements that are in the NMPF.

Peter Burke: I move amendment No. 46: In page 24, between lines 22 and 23, to insert the following: "(6) A public body shall have regard to the maritime planning policy statement when performing a function under this Act to which information, setting out the principles and priorities of the Government referred to in subsection (1), contained in the statement is relevant.
