QUESTION NO.10

QUESTION: Councillor W. Lavelle

To ask the Chief Executive to report on the current staffing available to deliver and support this council’s planning enforcement function?

REPLY:

A significant amount of Staff Resourcing has been allocated to reviewing Planning Enforcement Cases and a large number of cases have been successfully closed or resolved as a result.  Fortnightly review meetings are held with Senior Staff in the Registry Section of Planning to review progress in this regard.  An additional member of the Planning team will be assigned to Inspections/reports in late March and it is considered that following this measure, sufficient staff resources will be available to provide an effective Enforcement Service.
