I propose to take Questions Nos. 277 and 280 together.
Neither section 179 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, nor Part 8 of the Planning and Development Regulations made thereunder, relating to proposed development by a local authority that does not require environmental impact assessment or appropriate assessment, provide for a second round of public consultation in relation to a proposed development or for a further procedure to be followed where the elected members of the authority decide, by resolution, not to proceed with a proposed development. In the latter circumstances, it would, of course, be possible for a fresh Part 8 procedure to be initiated, if that was considered appropriate.
