Is the Minister aware that delays in dealing with planning applications often occur because other Departments, which are consultees, do not respond? Indeed, they sometimes appear to forget about the documents or requests that have been sent to them until they are reminded of them. Are there plans at least for service level agreements between Departments? For example, if the Road Service were consulted by the Department of the Environment Planning Service, it would have to respond within a specified period, rather than leaving applications for a long time, as sometimes happens.

The Minister will forgive me if I express some scepticism, but, to the Planning Service, ''speedy'' and ''timely'' often mean that a major application will get approval in two or three years. A Department has to consider an application on the basis of a presumption in favour. Will the Minister consider changing the deemed refusal to a deemed approval if the applicant does not receive the Department's verdict on their application after two months?

The Planning Service is taking forward a significant modernisation and reform programme affecting everyone involved in the planning process. The overriding aim is to make the system faster, while at the same time ensuring that it remains open and transparent. The Government are mindful of the need to ensure that major strategic planning applications are progressed in a timely manner and that officials in the Planning Service liaise closely with colleagues on the Strategic Investment Board and at Invest Northern Ireland to ensure that applications are dealt with as quickly as possible.
