QUESTION NO.6

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Chief Executive to outline in detail the guidance or criteria (other than provided in the Act) used by Planning Officers in deciding whether a submission of additional information for a planning application constitutes ‘significant’ additional information or not?

REPLY:

'Significant' additional information is considered to arise when there is a material alteration in the proposed development that would render it seriously inconsistent with that initially proposed, or where the quantum of development proposed is increased.  Usually where only the quantum of development proposed is decreased, that is not considered 'significant' additional information.
