New plans to overhaul Planning Authority appeals will relax timeframes for filing appeals but keep many other controversial provisions in place. Objectors appealing a Planning Authority decision will only be able to argue points they raised in front of the PA. News of the revised bill comes as activists prepare to march on Saturday in a national protest against plans to overhaul the planning system. Bill 144 is one of two planning bills that the government quietly tabled in parliament in the summer. Its twin – Bill 143 – seeks to radically overhaul Planning Authority rules and is seen as the more controversial of the two.
