No. 85 of 2021

Planning and Development (Amendment) (No. 3) Bill 2021

Public bill · Government · Presented

Because Covid-19 disrupted normal planning work, local authorities would get extra time, up to one year, to review and make new development plans, and they could keep existing plans in force for longer while they do so. Any extension would still need proper environmental checks, and the planning regulator and others would have to be notified. It would also give a limited temporary extension to some planning permissions, let emergency planning orders cover statutory undertakers as well as Ministers and public works, and add a new planning condition that would not trigger compensation.

Formal long title

Bill entitled an Act to amend the Planning and Development Act 2000; in response to disruption caused by restrictions introduced in response to the Covid-19 pandemic, to provide for an additional period for the preparation of development plans required by planning authorities, that planning authorities may extend the duration of existing development plans pending the preparation and making of new development plans, subject to the requirement to carry out certain environmental assessments, for notification of proposals to extend the duration of existing development plans to the Office of the Planning Regulator and other persons, for the further extension of the duration of the appropriate period of certain planning permissions; and to provide for amendments to section 181 of that Act to include statutory undertakers and to the Fifth Schedule to the Planning and Development Act 2000 to provide for an additional condition the imposition of which does not attract compensation; and to provide for related matters.
