Planning extension welcomed

FIANNA Fáil councillor Kenneth O’Flynn has welcomed a commitment from the Minister for the Environment, John Gormley to extend the current five-year timeframe in which people who have been granted planning permission must commence building.

Cllr O’Flynn said he has been pushing for a number of months for the inclusion of a section in the new Planning and Development Bill extending the five-year time limit of planning permission.

“In the current economic climate it is vital that people who have struggled hard to get planning permission and now find that they cannot get a loan are not penalised because the permission will lapsed,” he said.
