Re: Re: Pre-planning discussions

Under Section 247 of the P&D Act all LA’s are legally obliged to keep a copy of pre-planning discussions and these must be made available to the public. Any deviation from this could lead to an invalid application.
Hope this info is of some use?

Basically I’m curious to learn if no reference was made to a pre-planning consultation on the application form, even though according to a large section of wording in the appeal to An Bord Pleanala such a consultation obviously took place how ought I to address this to my local authority or is it all merely a matter of hearsay? Surely, secret meetings cannot be engaged in at this level.

According to the Appeal I have no doubt that such a consultation occurred and although I checked and rechecked the application, there is no record whatsoever of such a meeting, This is very sinister indeed. Can I query my L.A.on this or is there anyway that this may be of interest to An Boad Pleanala?

Thanks again.
