Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage

It would not be appropriate for me to comment directly on an individual application which might come before me for determination.

However, I can confirm that my Department wrote to the applicant concerned on 13 October 2019 outlining what is required in order for the pre-application to proceed to application stage. A response in that context is awaited.
