Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 18 May 2017
146. Deputy Frank O'Rourke asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government his views on whether there are significant problems with section 28(2) of the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016 which only allows for a second extension for housing developments that commenced on site before the original planning permission expired, most of which would have been before 2012. [23705/17]
Amharc ar fhreagra147. Deputy Frank O'Rourke asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the advice which can be given to developers whose planning permission, and a section 42 extension, has expired and is awaiting section 28(2) commencement to apply for a second extension; if in the intervening period all construction work should cease until such a time as he decides to commence section 28 and the developer can apply for an extension; if such developers should reapply for planning permission; and his views on whether this is acceptable. [23706/17]
Amharc ar fhreagra148. Deputy Frank O'Rourke asked the Minister for Housing, Planning, Community and Local Government the specific amendments he plans to make to section 28(2) of the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016 in the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2016; and his views on whether the non-enactment of section 28(2) could have very serious consequences in delaying housing developments for which the planning permission has expired. [23707/17]
