Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (3 Oct 2019)

Peter Burke: I thank the witnesses for their attendance and acknowledge the unqualified opinion and the annual report which, to be fair, is comprehensive. It is one of the easiest to read we have received from any organisation. I want to acknowledge that because it can sometimes be difficult to understand and interpret some of the reports we get here. Credit is due on that front. With regard to what...

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (3 Oct 2019)

Peter Burke: In the event of a backlog, is there a hierarchy of importance in respect of cases? How is that assessed? There seems to be frustration across the industry with regard to getting responses to referrals under section 5, which are used to determine whether planning permission is needed. Are they given a lower priority in the context of the current housing emergency? How are they assessed?...

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (3 Oct 2019)

Peter Burke: I always would have understood that the county development and local area plans constitute the cornerstone documents in terms of how a local authority wants to develop its county. I would have hoped that An Bord Pleanála would place great value on those documents and I hear that in what Mr. Walsh is saying. Mr. Walsh mentioned that national plans can contradict that. Sometimes they...

Public Accounts Committee: 2018 Financial Statements of An Bord Pleanála (3 Oct 2019)

Peter Burke: Essentially, there will be no political intervention. Obviously, primary legislation is different. At the end of the day, the Minister had to sign these guidelines.
