Pre-Application Consultation (PAC)

The objective of PAC is for communities to be better informed about major and national development proposals and to have an opportunity to contribute their views before a formal planning application is submitted to the planning authority. This helps to improve the quality of planning applications; mitigate negative impacts where possible; address misunderstandings; and to air and to address where practicable any community issues. Any amendments made as a result of PAC should improve the proposals and assist the efficient consideration of applications once submitted.
