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

Eoin Ó Broin: Covid is an obvious one. There is simply no way timelines could have been kept. Who gets to decide?

Therefore, times were not kept for bad reasons as opposed to something specific like Covid. This provision, even with the new wording, does not specify criteria...

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

Eoin Ó Broin: I thank the Chair and welcome the Minister. I have a question but also a suggestion for consideration by the Minister and his officials between now and Report Stage. As he knows, section 55 relates to the chief executive's report on adjustment of the housing development strategy. It reads: The chief executive of a planning authority shall, where he or she considers that there has been a...

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

Eoin Ó Broin: I have a technical question on this section. The section relates to variations affecting settlement-specific objectives in an urban area or priority area plan. I do not understand why this section is separate from section 56. Is there a reason it is a stand-alone section? What is the import of its provisions being separate as opposed to being included in the general terms of the preceding...

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

Eoin Ó Broin: To be clear, even though section 57 deals with what is also a variation to a development plan, because it would affect settlement-specific objectives in an urban area or priority area plan, it deserves a separate section.

Eoin Ó Broin: That makes complete sense.

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

Eoin Ó Broin: This section deals with public rights of way. It appears to be a weakening of the current provisions requiring lists of public rights of way to be included in development plans as an automatic procedure. Will the Minister clarify what is different in section 58 from the current procedure for dealing with public rights of way in the existing Act? Depending on his response, I might have a...
