My Department's engagement with An Bord Pleanála lies principally in the context of :
- appeal lodgement in relation to an application by the Department for planning permission for a school building project. In such a case, the Department's engagement is in accordance with standard planning appeal procedures.
- the Board's determination of applications for Strategic Housing Developments where the Department wishes the Board to take account of the consequence of the proposed development on educational provision. The Department may also be nominated by the Board as a prescribed body to be consulted in regard to such proposed development.
Submissions in connection with these matters are in the public domain.
My Department does not have a need, as a matter of course, to bring policy instructions or policy documents to the attention of An Bord Pleanála.
