The Minister for Housing, Local Government and Heritage, James Browne and the Minister of State for Planning, John Cummins today welcomed Cabinet approval for priority drafting of the Planning and Development (Amendment) Bill 2025. It is intended to have the Bill enacted before the summer recess.
This Bill will enable for an extension of duration of permissions to be made on permissions for housing development that are nearing the end of their duration period and have not yet commenced.
The Bill will also allow for the provisions of Section 180 of the new Planning and Development Act 2024 to retrospectively apply to permissions that have already been through Judicial Review – or are currently in Judicial Review – and are subsequently permitted. In other words, this will allow for the duration of the Judicial Review period to not be counted as part of the effective life of the planning permission – avoiding a situation whereby in the past planning permissions have expired due to delays caused by the Judicial Review process.
