In accordance with the provisions of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) and the associated regulations, I am a prescribed body for the purposes of the planning application process for particular types of development.
In this regard, I receive a significant volume of notifications on a yearly basis relating to a wide variety of applications and the various stages of those application processes, and in excess of 280 number submissions have been made by my Department pursuant to such requests since 2020.
Given the volume of notifications received and the variety and nature of the submissions made, it has not been possible to provide an exact breakdown of the submissions in the time provided for the response. I would note, however, that it is standard practice for prescribed bodies to make submissions on applications as provided for in the relevant legislation.
