Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2004 / November 17 2004: RIAI requests answers to 'bizarre' planning decisions

The Royal Institute of the Architects of Ireland (RIAI) has presented a detailed dossier of "bizarre" planning invalidations to the new Minister for the Environment and Local Government, Dick Roche. The institute's president, Tony Reddy, said yesterday that the inconsistencies in the planning system, like the ones highlighted in this dossier, are causing frustration and alienation among building professionals and ordinary people alike, as well as imposing unnecessary extra financial costs. In this context, Mr Reddy has called for an urgent meeting with the Minister to discuss proposals it has submitted to his department for a national planning charter to ensure a transparent approach to planning right across the country and consistent high standards.
