Planning Control

This Section is responsible for the planning application process, control of ongoing development and enforcement of standards.

The main objectives of planning enforcement are:
(a) To ensure that developments are carried out in compliance with the planning permission granted.
(b) To take appropriate enforcement action in cases where a development (including a material change of use) has been or is being carried out without permission or in breach of a permission granted.
(c) Ensure the completion of housing development to a satisfactory standard with regard to water, drainage, roads, footpaths, open spaces etc.

Planning permissions may impose conditions requiring financial contributions or the submission of security for a development. Limerick City Council is satisfied that procedures are in place to ensure compliance with the stated conditions of planning permission granted.
