Planning Bill
6:00 pm
Katrine Sporle: There is a body in Scotland that deals with planning appeals; it is set up slightly differently from the way that we are set up. There is a body in Northern Ireland and An Bord Pleanála in the rest of Ireland. We have a great deal of interaction, we exchange good practice and we discuss policy issues and how they are going to be delivered. But we do not discuss the side of work that does not relate to us: the promotional schemes to fulfil Government policy. We discuss how we deal with appeals.
