Paul Reid, former head of the HSE, is expected to be appointed chairperson of An Coimisiún Pleanála, the new planning authority replacing An Bord Pleanála, as part of reforms in Ireland's planning system. The initiative, brought to the cabinet by Housing Minister James Browne, aims to reset the organization’s culture and introduce mandatory statutory timelines for decision-making, ranging from 18 to 24 weeks. This is outlined in the Planning and Development Act, designed to enhance efficiency and accountability, with a full rollout expected by the end of 2025.
The introduction of mandatory statutory timelines for planning decisions aims to streamline the process and improve accountability within the new planning body in Ireland.
Paul Reid’s appointment as chair of An Coimisiún Pleanála marks a significant step in the government's effort to reform and reset the planning culture in Ireland.
