How we work

PlanningAudits carries out independent audits of Irish planning applications, tested against how An Coimisiún Pleanála and the councils have actually decided comparable cases.

How engagement works

When a client retains us — an applicant, planning consultant, council or community group — the work is confidential to that client. We don’t publish findings from a client’s work, and we don’t act for anyone else against a client’s application. Audits we carry out on our own initiative are our own analysis; where we publish them, we publish the analysis, not advice to any party.

Who commissions audits

Audits are available to applicants, planning consultants, councils and community groups, retained on the same terms by any of them.
