Clare Auctioneer Calls For Urgent Reform Of Planning Process

A Clare Estate Agent claims reforming the current planning appeal process will be just as impactful as delivering housing grants to new buyers. It comes as the Institute of Professional Auctioneers and Valuers has called on the government to expedite the judicial review process. Although An Bórd Pleanála aims to make a ruling in all cases within 18 weeks, developments can become tied up in the courts for years on further appeals. Diarmuid McMahon from DNG O'Sullivan Hurley in Ennis says the current system is too risky for developers.
