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. Sligo County Council takes it online with the submission or at the counter.

- Keep the acknowledgement.The council's receipt is your proof of a valid observation — see below.
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.

|---|---|---|---|
| M1 Metro / rail economic corridor | MIX – mixed uses: Objective: Promote the development of a dynamic mix of uses able to create and sustain viable town and village centres. Commercial (including retail), residential, leisure, community, office and suitable enterprise uses are supported in mixed-use zones, | sligo county development plan 2024 2030 | 11 Nov 2024 → 11 Nov 2030 |
