A more discretionary approach such as ours, while unusual, is far from unique
Sir, – While there is much to commend in Tony Reddy’s vision for a more regulatory “3D” planning system , it does need to be balanced by acknowledging that there are recognised disadvantages to this approach in the planning literature and the distinction is more nuanced than presented.
Planning theory characterises a discretionary system as flexible and more responsive to socio-demographic change when compared to regulatory approaches based on specific predefined rules, maps, models and detailed zonings. Many regulatory systems have introduced more discretionary approaches while the Irish system has arguably become more regulatory, beginning with the concept of detailed Strategic Development Zones under the 2000 Act.
