Site notice/notices location regs

L1011

A large-ish site near me has a single site notice up that is not really anywhere people accessing it would notice - rather hard to explain, but there's open sides that act as pedestrian entrances and two vehicle entrances and its on a lamp post at an area where nobody would have reason to walk in. Proposed development is very significant.

I've noticed that other corner sites often end up with two/three notices depending on what type of access they have. Is this a regulation, be it national or local (Kildare) or just the applicant doing it to be nice?

They should make reasonable attempt to place additional notices if the actual property frontage may not be visible.
In any event, planning authority can request further notices to be attached if they think its not visible.

Have a look at the online planning file that should be available from the Kildare County Council website and see if there is a map of the site notices included (it may be on a map entitled Site Location Map). The applicant would be required by regulations to erect a notice on the main entrance to the land from the public road, or where there is more than one entrance, from each other entrance.

Based on what you have said, I think there should be a minimum of two site notices on each of the main vehicular access points, however, it is possible that the 'development site' area so to speak is a lot smaller than the entire lands.

A person from the planning authority will be required to inspect the site notice in the first five weeks and they may deem that there has been insufficient notices put in place. If you are particularly aggrieved by this, you could pay the 20 euro fee to make a written submission so long as you are still within the consultation period for the proposal.

The regulation states The site notice must be located at the site entrance to the private road and/or where the private road meets the public road and at all entrances to the site.

You submit a site notice map with the planning, and the planner checks it on site. If the planners feel it is not correctly located, not clearly visible, or (as often happens) some local who doesn't want you to get planning pulls it down, the clock is reset and you have to reinstate it again.

Plans aren't scanned yet; KCC were always a tad slow and slower since COVID - plan is filed, file number etc on the website.

Development site would, it seems, be the entire site based on description. But it sounds like its not an approach to pick at the corners of the application if KCC deem it acceptable anyway! Would only ever have reset the clock anyway as said but I've had people asking if it was legit.

As if by magic, there's a notice at the second vehicular entrance now. Didn't go check the pedestrian one as I was in a car and its snowing but I wouldn't be surprised if a third has sprouted.
