The licensing of appliances, apparatus and structures on public roads and footpaths is governed by section 254 of the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended (the Act), and associated regulations. My Department issued planning circulars to local authorities in 2021 relating to regulations made under section 254 with regard to street furniture (S.I. 209 of 2021 - Circular PL06/2021) and to telecommunications infrastructure (S.I. 422 of 2021 - Circular PL 07/2021).   

Planning legislation is kept under constant review and if any further regulations are made under section 254 of the Act, local authorities will be notified accordingly. There are no plans to make further regulations in this regard at this point in time.
