THE ENVIRONMENTAL PROTECTION AGENCY (E.P.A)

Responsible for regulating activities that have significant polluting potential.

WHAT DOES IT DO? The E.P.A is responsible for licensing

enforcement, monitoring and assessment activities associated with the environment in Ireland and its protection.

Before a large plant like for example, a 20 million litre powder milk plant can be approved to be built, it needs a licence from the E.P.A.

WHAT OTHER TYPES OF LICENSES DO THE E.P.A COVER?

(IPPC) Licensing

Waste Licensing

Waste Water Discharge

Emissions Trading

Genetically Modified Organisms (GMOs)

Volatile Organic Compounds (VOC) permits

Dumping at Sea (DaS) permits

E.P.A These conditions are monitored closely by the

E.P.A and are important considerations in the early stages of planning for the powder milk plant.

It is an offence to carry on a licensable activity without a licence from the EPA.

 

WHO DOES THIS LICENSE AFFECT?

 Minerals and Other Materials.  Energy.  Metals.  Mineral Fibres and Glass.  Chemicals.  Intensive Agriculture (poultry and pigs).  Food and Drink.  Wood, Paper, Textiles and Leather.  Fossil Fuels.  Cement.  Waste (recovery or disposal in a facility connected or associated with an IPPC

activity).  Surface Coatings.  Other Activities (includes testing of engines, manufacture of printed circuit

HIRING CONTRACTORS

“A person or company, that undertakes a contract to provide materials or labour to perform a service or do a job”.

CONTRACTORS

A contractor is responsible for day-to-day oversight of the construction site, management of vendors and trades.

The contractor has the skills and experiences to undertake the task to the highest standards.

HOW ARE THE MAIN CONTRACTORS CHOSEN?

In order to pick the main contractors, the plans for the Plant are put out to tender. This will go out to all contractors, who will come back with an estimate of cost and time.

The contractor is responsible for supplying all materials, meeting production deadlines and supplying all plant and engineering vehicles.

CONTRACTORS The contractor is responsible for supplying all

materials, meeting production deadlines and supplying all plant and engineering vehicles.

They are also charged with providing all trades and tertiary services to the project.

In a lot of cases the main contractor project manages the build as they are “on the ground” and have a real time view of proceedings.

PLANNING PERMISSION All development of property requires planning

permission. Some small extensions or conservatories may not need planning permission.

You apply for planning permission to the local authority of the location that we want to build.

It is an offence to carry out work before planning permission is granted.

3 TYPES OF PLANNING PERMISSION Full Permission

Granted

Outline Permission which will require you to produce only the plans and

particulars that are necessary to enable the planning authority to make a decision in relation to the siting, layout or other proposals for development. 

Permission Consequent Terms and conditions are involved in the Permission

BEFORE APPLY FOR PLANNING PERMISSION It is useful to talk to the local authority before you apply for

planning permission, to see if the development fits in with the towns development plan.

A public notice of the proposals must be made before making the planning application. This is done by placing an advertisement in the local paper and erecting

a site notice

The application must then be made within 2 wks of the notice appearing in the paper.

The site notice must remain for a minimum of 5 wks after the receipt of the application is received

HOW TO APPLY FOR PLANNING PERMISSION

You apply for planning permission by filling in a planning application form(posted on the blog).

The following documentation must accompany the form A site location map (6 copies). Site and layout plan (6 copies). Other plans elevations and section (6 copies). Copies of the public notices. The appropriate fee.

INFORMATION ON PLANNING PERMISSION Generally, the local planning authority makes a decision on the

planning application within 8 wks. Planning permission normally lasts 5 years.

If the local authority refuses an application. The applicant has 4 wks to appeal to An Bord Pleanala.

The copy of the planning permission application forms are open to the public.

Outside parties are able to make a written submission or observation on a given planning permission at a cost of €20.

AFTER PLANNING PERMISSION Once a developer (like Ourselves) has applied for

planning permission it is decided by the local council to grant planning permission, sometimes with condition, or reject it.

These conditions must be met for the development to proceed.

Appealling a planning decision made by a local authority to An Bord Pleanála.

APPEAL PROCESS The appeal must be made in writing to An Bord

Pleanala.

The Appeal must include the following Name and address. The full grounds of appeal, with documentation. The correct fee.

AN BORD PLEANALA

"To play our part as an independent body in ensuring that physical development and major infrastructure projects in Ireland respect the principles of sustainable development and are planned in an efficient, fair and open manner.“

Mission Statement

THE BOARD OF AN BORD PLEANALA The membership of the board is determined by the Planning

and Development Acts 2000-2006.

The board is made up of a Chairperson and 9 other members.

The Chairperson is voted in.

The 9 other members are selected by the Minister of the Environment.

One board member is a civil servant appointed by the minister.

APPEALS As I said earlier it is an impartial appeals board, so it is

an offence to try to influence the decision of any of any member of the board in relation to a planning appeal.

The Minister of the Environment has the authority to make decisions about general planning and the board must take this into consideration when making there decison.

But the minister may not influence the board in an appeal process.

DECISIONS Most decisions of appeal are decided between 3 members of the board

If a particular case is sensitive or complex, all the members of the board will be involved.

The board will make a decision after all the evidence is investigated.

Mostly the board will follow the inspector outcome but not all the time.

If the board does not agree with the inspector, they must give reasons for there decision.

The board can dismiss an appeal if they decide that the appeal is not based on non-planning considerations ,,, ie personal issues

Once the decision is reached by the board, that decision is final.

This decision can only be challenged by the judicial system in the High court.

ORAL HEARING You may requsest an oral hearing on payment of

an additional fee. An bord Pleanala will normally only grant an oral hearing if the case is complex or if national od local issues are involved.

Some hearing are held to understand the motives of the appeal.

The hearings themselves are usually quite informal.

PUBLIC ACCESS All appeal files can be viewed by any

member of the public.
