Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Section 61(2)(a) states: "The Minister may, at any time, request the Office of the Planning Regulator to carry out an assessment of a development plan." If we look at the overall architecture of the new relationship between the regulator and the development plan process, we can see that the regulator will be brought in at the very beginning before the elected members. The regulator has a...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: Correct me if I wrong, but if there was a variation of the plan, surely the OPR would already be involved in the process because that is already set out? I said this at a session at which the Minister may not have been present. The work the OPR has done in respect of the current round of development plans has been very positive. It has an even more involved role. However, I am not so sure...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

I will still be opposing this section.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: I will make a general comment and then ask a question on this. When Wind Energy Ireland and other industry representatives were before the committee, and in subsequent correspondence, they raised this issue.

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (26 Mar 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: With respect to existing energy infrastructure, whether it is seeking extension or repowering, these are just some of the questions that industry representatives have raised with us. There are issues around not only the cost of seeking to extend but also the timing of it, particularly if there are delays in the decision-making process.
