This diploma course aims to provide a comprehensive practical overview of the current legislative framework in the planning and environmental realms. The overall objective is to assist practitioners in determining what planning and environmental legislation applies and what the exposure is for clients arising from this.
This course will examine topical issues, including the impact of environmental law on planning, planning control, development plans and strategic development, the interplay with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), developments in waste law, recent European law and Irish legislation, recent case law, issues of environmental liability in insolvency, enforcement, trans-boundary environmental issues, and the nature of development.
