Planning retention in Ireland refers to the process through which property owners seek permission to retain structures or alterations to their properties. This process is governed by the Planning and Development Act and is overseen by local planning authorities. Property owners must submit a planning retention application, detailing the development or alterations in question. The local planning authority assesses the application based on various factors, including the impact on the surrounding environment, compliance with planning policies, and public interest. Planning retention plays a crucial role in balancing the needs of property owners with the preservation of planning regulations and the overall integrity of the built environment in Ireland.
