Important changes to planning law are taking effect as the Planning and Development Act 2024 is being commenced on a phased basis.
Proposed Variation No. 2 to the Waterford City and County Development Plan 2022-2028
Proposed Variation No. 7 to the Wicklow County Development Plan 2022-2028
The Planning and Development Act 2024 was signed into law on 17 October 2024. The Act is being commenced on a phased basis to facilitate a smooth transition from the existing legislation to the new legislation. It is important to note that transitional arrangements are in place. This means that certain elements of the work of the OPR remain under the previous legislation during this time.
This website will be updated at the earliest opportunity to correspond with the commencement of the various Parts of the Act.
