Over half of planning applications online

More than 50% of planning applications to Tipperary Co Council were received online in the first full year of operation of the new e-planning scheme.

The council has now completed a pilot scheme through the planning portal https://planning.localgov.ie, which began in 2022. This month’s meeting of the council was informed that from January to July of 2023, 53% of submissions received were received via the portal.

Work is continuing with the Local Government Management Agency and third-party providers, and part 8 planning applications are now also online, with 14 from Tipperary currently on the planning portal.
