I move amendment No. 20:

In page 18, to delete lines 19 to 37, and in page 19, to delete lines 1 and 2 and substitute the following:" "(3A) Where a permission which includes conditions referred to in subsection (1) has been granted under section 34 in respect of a development and the basis for the determination of the contribution under subsection (1) has changed where the development is one to which Part II of the Building Control Regulations 1997 (S.I. No. 496 of 1997) applies and a commencement notice within the meaning of that Part in respect of the development has not been lodged, the planning authority shall apply that change to the conditions of the permission where to do so would reduce the amount of the contribution payable.

(3B) Where the planning authority applies a change in the basis for the determination of a development contribution under subsection (3A) it may amend a condition referred to in subsection (1) in order to reflect the change.".".

These amendments are proposing the removal from the Bill of subsections that would allow for reductions in developers' fees. We oppose the subsections in question.
