The reintroduction of a mechanism to appeal planning permission granted for large-scale residential developments may reduce legal challenges and obstacles to such schemes, a new paper released by the Department of Public Expenditure has suggested.
The report maintains that under the previous strategic housing development initiative – where developers brought their plans directly to An Bord Pleanála – judicial reviews could have been “acting as a pseudo-appeals mechanism”. The paper concludes that the strategic housing development process was “significantly faster compared to the processing time for large-scale developments before 2017 in cases where judicial reviews were not sought by those challenging the granting of planning permission.
It says that given the large number of judicial reviews that have yet to conclude, “it is difficult to definitively access whether the strategic housing development process was successful in achieving reduced planning time frames”.
