Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed)

Amendment No. 410 relates to section 48 on page 107 of the Bill. This is the obligation to prepare strategies for conservation of natural and built heritage. In the amendment, from (1)(a) through to (l), there is a variety of different areas that could be considered for the strategy. I want to include an additional one, under (k), which would be areas subject to special amenity area orders, SAAOs, and the identification of areas where such orders would be beneficial for the community or biodiversity. These are areas that would then be required for the strategies. I am interested in the Minister of State's response.
