Dáil Éireann Debate, Tuesday - 25 October 2005
210 Mr. Deenihan asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if he will make changes to section 29(1)(a) of the Planning and Development Act 2001; and if he will make a statement on the matter. [30421/05]
View answerI assume the question relates to Article 29(1)(a) of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001. This article provides that any person or body, on payment of the prescribed fee, may make a submission or observation in writing to a planning authority in relation to a planning application within the period of five weeks beginning on the date of receipt by the authority of the application. While I have been reviewing the 2001 planning regulations to refine and streamline aspects of the planning application process, it is not planned to amend the provision in question.
