Before Submitting your Planning Application ask yourself
- Should I initially seek pre – planning advice from the Planning Authority on my proposal/application before submitting it? The Planning Authority recommends that you engage in pre-planning consultation prior to submitting an application. Please download the following short form http://www.louthcoco.ie/en/Services/Planning/Planning-Forms/Pre-Planning-Form-.pdf. There is no fee.
- Am I making the correct type of planning application – i.e. for permission, retention, outline permission or permission consequence?
- Have I completed all sections of the application form?
- Have I paid the correct fee?
- Is my site notice adequate, positioned correctly on site and visible and legible from the public road?
- Is my newspaper notice adequate, in an accepted newspaper and within the time limit?
- Have I documented and verified rural qualifying criteria in respect of Rural Housing?
- Have I included all necessary information?
- Have I (or my agent) signed the form? Do I need to meet any other non-planning application requirements? (e.g. fire safety certificate, consent to connect to a public sewer, Exemption Cert under Section 97 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 as amended with the requirement for social and affordable housing).
