Vol. 417 No. 2
139 Mr. Creed asked the Minister for the Environment if he will outline the changes in planning appeal charges as contained recently in Statutory Instrument No. 3/92; if he will refer to the consequences for An Taisce of these increases in charges, and if he will make a statement on the matter.
The Local Government (Planning and Development) (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations, 1992 (S.I. No. 3 of 1992) set out the fees now payable to An Bord Pleanála in respect of appeals and other matters. The fees payable prior to 17 February 1992 were those set out in the Local Government (Planning and Development) (Fees) (Amendment) Regulations, 1989 (S.I. No. 338 of 1989). The provisions under which An Taisce pay a reduced fee for an appeal and are also exempt from the fee for making submissions or observations to An Bord Pleanála in relation to an appeal have been retained.
