Directions for completing request form

1 A prospective applicant must send 2 printed copies of the request to the Board, together with 3 copies of the request in a machine readable form on digital devices. A prospective applicant must send 6 printed copies of the request, together with one copy of the request in a machine readable form on a digital device, to the planning authority or each authority where the proposed strategic housing development would be situated in the area of more than one authority.

2 In this form, “prospective applicant” means the person seeking the planning permission, not an agent acting on his or her behalf. Where there is more than one applicant, the details of all applicants should be inserted, as required, on the form.

3 Where the plans have been drawn up by a firm/company the name of the person primarily responsible for the preparation of the drawings and plans, on behalf of that firm/company, should be stated.

4 In this form, “planning authority” means the planning authority in whose area the proposed strategic housing development would be situated. Where the proposed development would be situated in the area of more than one planning authority, the relevant details should be supplied separately in respect of each such authority.

5 The site location map shall be drawn to a scale (which shall be indicated thereon) of not less than 1:500, with the site boundary clearly delineated in red.

6 Where available, please provide the application site boundary, as shown in the submitted plans/drawings, as an ESRI shapefile in the Irish Transverse Mercator (ITM IRENET95) co-ordinate reference system. Alternatively, a CAD file in .dwg format, with all geometry referenced to ITM, may be provided.

7 The draft layout plan shall be drawn to a scale (which shall be indicated thereon) of not less than 1:500, shall show buildings, roads, boundaries, septic tanks and percolation areas, bored wells, significant tree stands and other features on, adjoining or in the vicinity of the land or structure to which the application relates.

8 Gross floor space means the area ascertained by the internal measurement of the floor space on each floor of a building (including internal walls and partitions), i.e. floor areas must be measured from inside the external wall, disregarding any floor space provided for the parking of vehicles by persons occupying or using the building or buildings where such floor space is incidental to the primary purpose of the building.

9 Insert proposed number of childcare spaces.

10 An Environmental Impact Statement (EIS) is required to accompany an application for permission for strategic housing development of a class set out in Schedule 5 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001-2017 which exceeds a limit, quantity or threshold set for that class of development. An EIS will be required in respect of sub-threshold strategic housing development where the Board considers that the proposed development would be likely to have significant effects on the environment. Under section 7 (1)(a)(i)(I) of the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016 , a prospective applicant may, following the pre-application consultation meeting with the Board, request the Board to carry out an EIA screening in respect of a proposed strategic housing development.

11 An appropriate assessment (AA) is required to accompany an application for permission for strategic housing development in cases where it cannot be excluded that the proposed development would have a significant effect on a European site. Under section 7 (1)(a)(i)(II) of the Planning and Development (Housing) and Residential Tenancies Act 2016 , a prospective applicant may, following the pre-application consultation meeting with the Board, request the Board to carry out an AA screening in respect of a proposed strategic housing development.

12 (a) National Monuments

A list of national monuments in the ownership or guardianship of the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs is available for download from the National Monuments Service website (www.archaeology.ie) under National Monuments in State Care. A list of preservation orders is similarly available from this website (under Monument Protection). The relevant local authority should be contacted in relation to national monuments in its ownership or guardianship. If a proposed strategic housing development affects or is close to a national monument that is in the ownership or guardianship of the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs or a local authority, or is the subject of a preservation order or a temporary preservation order, a separate statutory consent for the development is required from that Minister under the National Monuments Acts.

(b) Other Monuments

The Record of Monuments and Places (RMP), established under section 12 of the National Monuments (Amendment) Act 1994 , is available for each county in the public libraries and principal local authority offices in that county. It is also available for download from the National Monuments Service website (www.archaeology.ie) under Publications, Forms & Legislation. If a proposed strategic housing development affects or is close to a monument listed in the RMP, there is a separate requirement to give two months advance notice of any proposed work to the Minister for Arts, Heritage, Regional, Rural and Gaeltacht Affairs. No work may commence within the two month period except in the case of urgent necessity and with the consent of that Minister.

13 Part V of the Planning and Development Act 2000 applies where—

• the land is zoned for residential use or for a mixture of residential and other uses,

• there is an objective in the Development Plan for the area for a percentage of the land to be made available for social and/or affordable housing, and

• the proposed development is not exempt from Part V.

14 Under section 96 (13) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 , Part V does not apply to certain housing developments by approved voluntary housing bodies, certain conversions, the carrying out of works to an existing house or the development of houses under an agreement made under section 96 of the Act.

15 All maps, plans and drawings, should, insofar as possible, comply with articles 297 and 298 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 to 2017.
