758. To ask the Minister for Environment, Community and Local Government if substitute consent in relation to unauthorised development at a location (details provided) in County Westmeath will circumvent the purpose of the Environmental Impact Assessment Directive and/or the Habitats Directive; that the ability to carry out an assessment has been substantially impaired; that substitute consent would circumvent the County Westmeath Development Plan 2008-2014; that the continuation of the development will significantly and adversely affect the integrity of a European Natura Site 2000; that the conservation value of the site, its habitats, environment and species have been adversely affected and that unauthorised developments pose real and substantial risk for the Shannon River Basin Management Plan; the reason the local authority issued an exact replica of the original enforcement notice to the proprietors of the marina.

As Minister, I am precluded, under section 30 of the Planning and Development Act, 2000, from involvement in relation to any individual planning application or appeal with which a planning authority or An Bord Pleanála is or may be concerned.
