Question 230: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if, under the Planning and Development Act 2000, a person is entitled to a refund of the fees paid to An Bord Pleanála when objecting to a planning approval decision in view of the fact that the planning applicant proceeded to reject the approval as given therefore making the appeal null and void.

Under the Planning and Development Act 2000, there is no provision for An Bord Pleanála to refund fees where an applicant for planning permission decides not to execute a permission granted on appeal. There is no obligation on a person in possession of a grant of planning permission to proceed with the development to which the permission relates.
