Notification and Hearing Rights for Planning Decisions
Applicants are normally notified of proposed decisions before formal issue and have the right to request a hearing. Public local inquiries may be held before the Planning Appeals Commission, and when both planning and heritage inquiries occur, efforts are made to hold them simultaneously.
Normally applicants are notified by the Department of the proposed decision before it is formally issued, and have the right to ask for a hearing. In some cases a public local inquiry may be held in front of the Planning Appeals Commission before a final decision is reached. Where such a hearing or inquiry is to be held regarding a proposal which is also the subject of a planning inquiry, every attempt will be made to ensure that the two inquiries are held simultaneously.
