A comprehensive analysis of planning law in Ireland
The new edition of Simons on Planning Law provides a comprehensive analysis of
planning law in Ireland, including developments in national and European case law since
the previous edition, and reflects legal developments in the area since 2007.
Significant statutory changes have occurred since the previous edition, including the
Planning and Development (Amendment) Acts of 2010, 2015, 2017 and 2018, as well
as the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016, all of
which are dealt with in this volume.
In addition, there have been over 100 statutory instruments and numerous decisions
of the CJEU and national courts in the area of planning law in the intervening period
between editions.
In the third instalment of this best-selling title, David Browne updates this comprehensive
analysis of planning law to include developments in national and European case law,
enabling practitioners to understand both substantive planning law and the procedural
rules in judicial review applications, appeals and costs applications.
