Question:91 Mr. Haughey asked the Minister for the Environment if he will introduce an appropriate amendment to the statutory provisions regarding planning appeals to extend the period of time allowed for third party submissions following a decision by the local authority to refuse planning permission and the lodging of an appeal by the developer; if he will request An Bord Pleanála to notify all objectors to an original planning application to a local authority that an appeal has been submitted; and if he will further direct An Bord Pleanála to introduce an appeals list similar to the planning lists drawn up by local authorities in view of the fact that delays in distributing the local authority planning lists which include a list of appeals submitted to An Bord Pleanála very often mean that residents associations have no time to submit third party observations regarding planning appeals as they did not receive the information in sufficient time and the statutory time period for these observations has elapsed.
