An Bord Pleanála Sets Wexford CPO Oral Hearing Agenda

An Coimisiún Pleanála has published the oral hearing agenda for a Compulsory Purchase Order in County Wexford.

The oral hearing, under case reference ACP - 324057 - 26, is designed to allow parties to make submissions beyond their initial written objections. It also enables the inspector to seek clarification on objections and relevant issues. Parties attending will have the opportunity to ask questions or seek clarification on any submissions made during the hearing, though there is no obligation to do so.

Local Authority Requirements

As part of the proceedings, the local authority has been requested to address several key issues in its submission, including:

• An overview of the Castle Heritage Quarter scheme
• A description of the land and properties subject to the acquisition application
• The benefits expected to arise from the facilitated development
• Alternative options that were considered
• The projected timeline for delivery
• Responses to issues raised in written objections

Procedures and Submissions

All written submissions already received will be fully considered by the inspector and the Commission. Because of this, parties are instructed not to reiterate previously submitted written points during the oral hearing.
