How and when can a development application lapse and how best to revive it?

This event will discuss when a development application can lapse, what can be done to prevent an application from lapsing and what can be done to revive such an application if it has lapsed.

Our two speakers, Ella and Ciaran will both tackle this issue from a legal and planning perspective, including:

• What the Planning Act says in this regard
• What are the ways to resolve the issue of a lapsing development application
• Who are the players involved and what are their roles
• Relevant case law
• Tips and tricks for the various players
