Unauthorised Development

If you think somebody is developing or using land without, or contrary to, planning permission, you should contact Clonakilty Town Council in writing. The Council will issue a warning letter to the person carrying out the development. They will investigate the matter to determine if an enforcement notice should be issued.

Any person may apply in either the Circuit or High Courts for an order restraining unauthorised development or use of land, or requiring compliance with planning permission. Court orders can, depending on the circumstances, be obtained at extremely short notice, and the courts will ensure compliance with any order made.
