An Taisce Identifies Worst Council's In Ireland's Planning System

Donegal, Roscommon, Leitrim, Kerry, Mayo, Galway County, Cavan, Carlow and Waterford County are ranked worst (in that order) in a system that requires radical overhaul says Ireland's National Trust.

An Taisce has today published the results of its objective study of the Planning Systems in 34 City and County Councils. It graded the councils using 8 objective criteria, such as the percentage of planning decisions appealed to An Bord Pleanála that were reversed and the percentage of vacant housing stock.

The performance of the following nine councils left them with an F grade: Donegal, Roscommon, Leitrim, Kerry, Mayo, Galway county, Cavan, Carlow and Waterford county.

Eight indicators are used to rank Ireland's 34 city and county councils in terms of their implementation of planning policies. In all cases data is sourced from the most recent publicly available independent sources.
