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

Paul McAuliffe: We are trying to balance the desire for longer-term planning with the ability of, in particular, new councillors who might be elected in the second half of a development plan to have an input. There is also the question of the very necessary change in how a community might develop. I do not think it is unreasonable to suggest that a councillor, rather than just the chief executive, might be...

Lifetime extensions for existing permitted wind farms shall be permitted following either a notification or a planning application to the relevant authority. That authority shall decide within eight weeks of receipt of a notification whether...

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

Paul McAuliffe: On the basis of the Minister's response, I am happy to withdraw my amendment, on the understanding that I may come back to it on Report Stage. Of particular concern to me are those projects at the very end of their life, where their life span has, in reality, extended beyond what was predicted but would not necessarily justify the investment required for a new planning application. The...

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

Paul McAuliffe: On the two amendments, it probably reflects how our perspective has changed on onshore wind farms. Granting significant pieces of infrastructure planning permission on a time basis would be like in the 1920s, 1930s and 1940s us considering motorways on a time basis. I think we now realise how important onshore infrastructure is. There is a significant strategic risk for Ireland in that,...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (21 Mar 2024)

Niall Collins: I thank the Deputy for raising this Topical Issue on planning enforcement proceedings in respect of the unauthorised development of log cabins. I would point out that, under section 30 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, the Minister with responsibility for planning is specifically precluded from exercising any power or control in respect of any particular case with which a...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (21 Mar 2024)

Mattie McGrath: I am very disappointed with that reply. The Minister of State mentioned that timber was not a problem. One of the two reasons the person I am referring to was twice refused planning permission by the county council had to do with the nature and aesthetics of the structure. That means the timber. Negotiations are ongoing and he has been told that if he plasters or renders it, he might get...

Saincheisteanna Tráthúla - Topical Issue Debate: Planning Issues (21 Mar 2024)

Seán Ó Fearghaíl: If I could interpret this for a moment, what the Deputy and the Minister of State are at odds about here is that we are being told that, legally, the Minister has no authority to enact legislation to overrule an enforcement order. The local authority, on the other hand, has the wherewithal to withdraw its enforcement actions.
