Finally, amendment No. 16 - these are the three amendments I have chosen to speak about out of this group of amendments - relates to the amendment in the name of Senator McDowell where he again talks about the Planning Regulator and issues around that which are important. Amendment No. 16 seeks to delete the definition of “planning regulator”.
I move amendment No. 6: In page 30, between lines 8 and 9, to insert the following: “ “Chief Planning Officer”, who may also be referred to as Chief City Planning Officer or Chief County Planning Officer, means the person appointed to each planning authority and for the Minister to issue guidance. I move amendment No. 17: In page 38, line 32, to delete “, subject to subsection (8) of section 156—” I second the amendment.
