Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 2) Bill 2016

Public bill · Private Member · Introduced

The proposal would remove a rule in planning law that was added in 2015, which limited how ministerial planning guidelines could be applied. In plain terms, it would change the balance between national guidance from the Minister and the planning system’s existing rules. It matters because ministerial guidelines can shape decisions on housing and development, so deleting this provision could affect how much influence the Minister has over local planning decisions.
