In this digital resource, we outline what kind of considerations may be grounds for making a planning submission, specify how best to go about it, and provide answers to any frequently asked questions.

The planning process in Ireland allows any person to make a submission on a planning application,
including those who may have environmental concerns about a proposed development. It does not matter whether you live nearby, or far away. The decision on a planning application is based on
what is called “proper planning and sustainable development”.

The planning process is generally interested in what is best for most people, not what is best for one person.

This means your submission should be based on based on planning issues, not on personal likes, dislikes or grievances.
