Reply:
The process to review, prepare and vary any Development Plan is outlined
in Part II, Chapter I (Sections 9 -13) of the Planning and Development Act,
as amended. Section 13 of the Act is the statutory process for any
variation (or adjustments) to the Development Plan.
The facility to vary a Development Plan exists for instances when a
Planning Authority may wish to adjust the objectives and policies of a
development plan in order to take account of different circumstances or
issues unforeseen at the time of the original making of the development
plan. In making a variation to the Development Plan, the variation and
other parts of the Plan must remain internally consistent.
