Pre Application Consultation

Email (opens new window)Enquiry Form


Pre-Application Consultations were introduced in the 2006 Planning Act and involve consultation with the community for major or national applications, as defined in the Act, at least 12 weeks before submitting a formal planning application.

All major and national developments require Pre-Application Consultation (PAC) with the community. This helps to mitigate negative impacts where possible and address misunderstandings and issues raised by the community as community members are made aware of the proposal at an early stage. You can then take this into account to improve the quality of your application.

When discussing your proposal with the Planning authority, you may wish to consider a Processing Agreement which is a form of agreed project management for larger and more complex applications. See further information here.
