Clare Architect Says Government Making "Superficial Effort" To Fix Planning Process

A Clare architect is accusing the Government of making a "superficial effort" to fix the planning process. The Cabinet is to be briefed on proposals this week on putting caps on the legal costs those behind judicial reviews can claim from the State. Under the plans, the limit for a standard case would be €41,000 while for complex cases it would be €53,350, and €65,800 would be the maximum for a very complex case. Ogonnelloe-based architect Garry Miley believes the proposed legislation serves no one.
