I wish to advise the Deputy that in 2020 Forward Planning Section and Site Acquisitions Section were individual sections within the Planning and Building of my Department.
As part of the Planning and Building Unit Reform Programme, the roles of Forward Planning Section and Site Acquisitions/Property Management Section were recently examined. A decision was taken to realign the areas responsible for site acquisitions, statutory plans and demographics under one Principal Officer area with the new section titled as Forward Planning and Site Acquisitions Section.
The attached tables detail the staff assigned to each section in December 2020 and for Forward Planning and Site Acquisitions Section on 14th November 2022 as requested.
