An Taisce is running a project to help local communities and others to put together meaningful submissions to County Development Plans.

We help local communities to participate in the Planning Process so that they have a voice in the development of their area.  We also help local communities participate in protecting their Natural Environment.

Development Plans, Local Area Plans and Planning Applications are sent to An Taisce for comment and we do so in light of the relevant Planning Laws, Development Plans, Local Area Plans and any EU directives that are applicable.
We are running a project to explain the importance of the 'Development Plan' and to help local communities and orgaisations put together meaningful submissions.  For further details see the 'Development Plans' tab above or http://www.antaisce.ie/developmentplans
