503. To ask the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government if he will prioritise the establishment of a planning aid service such as that in place in the UK since 2004. [1308/17]

I have no proposals to establish a service along the lines of the planning aid service in the UK. This is a free service, independent of central and local government, whereby qualified planners offer professional advice on planning matters to local communities and individuals on a voluntary basis.
