Vol. 577 No. 4
285 Mr. Cuffe asked the Minister for the Environment Heritage and Local Government the plans he has to update guidelines (details supplied) for planning authorities in determining planning applications that were issued in the early 1980s. [31520/03]
My Department's development control advice and guidelines, which issued in October 1982, are being reviewed. As part of the review, submissions were sought from interested parties and these are now being considered by a committee which has been established to prepare new guidelines. I expect to be in a position to issue revised guidelines in draft format by mid-2004.
