FINGAL COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN AI046328
Question: Councillor B. Dennehy
"To ask the Chief Executive if there is any mechanism available to
members to make adjustments to the County Development Plan and in
particular to the infrastructural element in order to make provision for the
large
?”
Reply:
The process to review, prepare and vary any Development Plan is outlined
in Part II, Chapter I (Sections 9 -13) of the Planning and Development Act,
as amended. Section 13 of the Act is the statutory process for any
variation (or adjustments) to the Development Plan.
The facility to vary a Development Plan exists for instances when a
Planning Authority may wish to adjust the objectives and policies of a
development plan in order to take account of different circumstances or
issues unforeseen at the time of the original making of the development
plan. In making a variation to the Development Plan, the variation and
other parts of the Plan must remain internally consistent.
