View answerWhile, under Section 255 of the Planning and Development Acts 2000 – 2012, I may initiate a review of procedures and systems employed by a planning authority in the performance of its functions under the Acts, I am precluded, under section 30 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, from involvement in relation to any particular case, including an enforcement matter, with which a planning authority or An Bord Pleanála is or may be concerned.
