Pre-Application Discussions

Can I Consult with the Planning Authority in Advance?

Yes, a person who has an interest in land and who intends to make a planning application may, with the agreement of the Planning Authority, enter into consultations with the Authority.  This is referred to as a Pre-Application Consultation and can be requested by phone, in writing or by e-mailing us at(Planning@fingalcoco.ie ). The applicant must submit the following:

 

  • Name and Address
  • Contact Details
  • Site Address
  • Site location map: Scale 1:2500 within the proposed site outline
  • Approximate size of site
  • Legal interest in site, i.e. Owner/ Purchaser
  • Description of the proposed development

 

Once this information has been submitted, the request will be lodged with the relevant area planner, who will confirm a date for an appointment.

 

The Planning Authority will keep a record of any such consultations, which will be placed with the planning application file when it is submitted.

 

Consultations will be by appointment only at the offices of:

 

Fingal County Council
P.O. Box 174

Swords
Fingal
Co. Dublin.

 

Or if the address is in the Dublin 15 area, the appointment will take place in:
