The local authority has evaluated all submissions and a written response has issued to each submission.
Can I appeal a decision of the local authority?
An appeal of the local authority decision on a landowner’s submission on the annual draft map must be lodged by the landowner with An Coimisiun Pleanala by 1 August 2025. Appeals may be made in respect of the exclusion of their site from the annual draft map for 2026 on the basis that it does not meet the criteria for being in scope, or challenging the date from which land on the map met this criteria date to. Appeals must be made in writing setting out the grounds of appeal. There are no provisions for a third party to appeal a local authority decision to retain or remove land from an annual draft map.
Site added by request
Where a person has requested the addition of a site to the draft map and the local authority considers that site satisfies the relevant criteria, then it will be identified on the next annual draft map, which will be published by the local authority on the following 1 February.
