What you say here is what you can later appeal on. - Pay the €20 fee.Every submission needs it; without it the observation is invalid and is returned. Clare County Council takes it online with the submission or at the counter.

Statutory basis. Section 34(1) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) requires a planning authority to consider any submission or observation made to it in accordance with the Regulations. Article 29 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended) sets the window: a submission or observation must be received by the authority within five weeks beginning on the date of receipt of the application, and must be accompanied by the prescribed fee of €20. A submission received after the window, or without the fee, is invalid and the authority must return it.
What the site is zoned
| Code | Objective | Plan | In force |
|---|---|---|---|
| G5 Open space and amenity | Recreation: This category of zoning provides for the use of land for the provision of sports grounds/playing pitches, golf courses, tennis courts and other active indoor and outdoor recreational facilities etc. | CL-001:DP:kilkee-settlement-plan | 20 Apr 2023 → 19 Apr 2029 |
| R2 Existing residential | Existing Residential: The obj. for land zoned ‘existing residential’ is to conserve & enhance the quality and character of the areas, to protect residential amenities and to allow for small scale infill development which is appropriate to the character and pattern of Dev | CL-001:DP:kilkee-settlement-plan | 20 Apr 2023 → 19 Apr 2029 |
An application that accords with the zoning objective is hard to resist on principle; one that does not may be a material contravention, which the council can only grant by the s.34(6) procedure with its own notice and window.
