Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: Site refers to a defined site within the maritime area. It is specific to an unauthorised development that might take place on that site. Maritime area is the broader definition of the marine area.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: It is because the site is location specific. That is why it is in.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: We will have to come back to the Deputy on the definition of "on, in, over or under". The State owns the maritime area. The unauthorised development only takes place on a site. Does that clarify the difference?

Malcolm Noonan: We are happy with the terminology around development taking place on, over or under the maritime area. I think that is clear.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: Apologies, but am I correct that the Deputy has asked about amendment No. 585 in respect of State authority emergency development?

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (13 Feb 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: A State authority development emergency order is a restatement of the provisions contained in section 181 of the Act of 2000 that the Minister may by order provide that permission is not required for certain State authority development, where such development is required by reason of an accident or emergency, and the development does not require appropriate assessment or environmental impact...
