A wonderful occasion. Nice to hear @rtpi president and others outlining the big challenges facing planners and those who depend on their expertise. Great to see Mark Brady - Will's brother - at the launch too! @livuniplanning #proudofplanning @PlanningUCC
Dr. Olivier Sykes of @LivUni pays tribute to the late Dr. Will Brady of @PlanningUCC at the launch of his and John Sturzaker’s new book ‘Planning in a Failing State’ which looks at the lessons and learnings from ‘reform’ to UK planning over the 2010s and what they found!

Great to be able to participate in this discussion; closing loopholes will help to discourage bad-faith behaviour. Good decisions for the common good remain the main priority tho', so lets increase resources for the planning service! @IrishPlanInst @RTPIPlanners #proudofplanning.
. and following this latest report from the #RTEInvestigates team, @franmcnulty talks to David Hogan, the Cork developer who refused to pay 'go away' money, and Brendan O'Sullivan of @PlanningUCC about whether proposed new laws will make a difference. #rtept // @RTEOne.

3/3 Great that stricter rules are on the way. But this is a grown-ups arena: let's not pretend that it’s only objectors who seek ways of ��gaming’ the system. Let’s hold the nerve and focus on planning solutions that serve the common good. #proudofplanning #preserve3rdpartyrights.

2/3 Why not have a look at the Hogan case: # 315475. ? It’s impressive how @anbordpleanala came to its decision to grant. Though it’s a pity that many decisions are slow, the possibility of appeal delays are nearly always factored into the bottom line for large-scale projects.

1/3 Perhaps it's the legal system (rather than ABP) that should investigate this behaviour? The board’s job is to make good decisions for sustainable development and so its inspectors take ALL arguments into account (even those put forward by scallywags!).
"It's too long already, and the danger is other developers. will remain caught in a system that's open to abuse and is just inefficient.". Developer David Hogan, who refused to make 'go away payments' to serial objectors, on the planning process. #rtept | #rteinvestigates
