The Office of the Planning Regulator (OPR) is pleased to present the eighth edition of the ‘Learning from Litigation’ bulletin. This bulletin was prepared to highlight and disseminate key learnings from the continually evolving planning and environmental case law. It provides information on important precedents, court decisions and emerging trends with an overview of noteworthy planning cases.
The case selection for this edition of the bulletin was made following recommendations received from the Planning Law Bulletin Steering Group. This Group consists of nominees from the Law Society of Ireland’s Environmental and Planning Law Committee, An Bord Pleanála, the OPR legal services provider Fieldfisher LLP, the County and City Management Association and the OPR. It was agreed by the Group that this edition of the bulletin would be themed. In this context the cases selected all feature judgments relating to renewable energy projects specifically wind energy developments.
The OPR intends that the bulletin will be published on a quarterly basis.
