Complaint to the Ombudsman against Clare County Council concerning its handling of planning applications for development at Doonbeg Golf Course

Chapter 3

3. The Regulations state that the Council must make the Weekly List of planning applications available within 3 working days of the previous week. This was not done in this case, or even within 10 days of receipt of P02/591.

The Council's Response

The Council referred to the requirement under Article 27 of the Regulations to publish the Weekly List of Planning Applications received. The Council furnished a copy of an extract from the Weekly List dated 10th April, 2002 which showed P02/590 and P02/591 as having been received on 4th April 2002. It showed that application P02/591 was included on the Weekly List and that the List was published on 10th April, 2002 in compliance with the requirements of Article 27 of the Regulations.

The View of this Office

A copy of the extract from a list marked "Planning applications received from 1/4/02 -5/4/02" and dated 10 April 2002 was provided by the Council to this Office. Having examined the list, it appeared to have been published within the legal time frame, as stated by the Council.
