WATCH: How to make a planning application to your county council?

The Office of the Planning Regulator (OPR) has also launched a new series of videos and flowcharts aimed at helping people navigate their way through the planning application

process. Watch the introduction above and watch the other steps below: The OPR was established in April 2019 on foot of recommendations made by the Tribunal of Inquiry into Certain

Planning Matters and Payments (the Mahon Tribunal). Its purpose is to oversee the continuous enhancement of Ireland’s planning process and its outcomes by driving the

co-ordination of planning policy implementation across national, regional and local levels, building a stronger knowledge base and ensuring regular reviews of the performance of

planning authorities and An Bord Pleanála.
