Important changes to planning law are taking effect as the Planning and Development Act 2024 is being commenced on a phased basis.
The OPR independently assesses all statutory forward planning with a view to ensuring that the plan provides for the proper planning and sustainable development of the area concerned.
This week we have made submissions on:
Proposed Variation No. 32 of the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022
Proposed Variation No. 33 to the Dublin City Development Plan 2016-2022
Draft Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown 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.
Information on the commencement of the Act is available on the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage website.
