Section 247 (3) of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) states that “the carrying out of consultations shall not prejudice the performance by a planning authority of any other of its functions under this Act, or any regulations made under this Act and cannot be relied upon in the formal planning process or in legal proceedings.”

    This report was generated using a combination of data from Galway County Council along with external 3rd party sources such as National Parks and Wildlife Service, Ordnance Survey Ireland, and others.

In some situations, the data used to prepare your report may be incomplete or out of date and this is outsite the control of Galway County Council. For this reason, you are advised to use your report for indicative purposes only, and not to rely on the results for the purpose of proceeding with an application for planning permission, or otherwise.

    Tugtar an t-eolas a chuirtear ar fáil anseo gan dochar a dhéanamh do bhreithniú foirmiúil aon iarratas pleanála ina dhiaidh sin. Deirtear in Alt 247 (3) den Acht um Pleanáil agus Forbairt 2000 (arna leasú) "Ní dochar comhchomhairliúcháin a dhéanamh do chomhlíonadh aon fheidhmeanna eile dá chuid ag údarás pleanála faoin Acht seo nó faoi aon rialacháin arna ndéanamh faoin Acht seo agus ní féidir brath air sa phróiseas foirmiúil pleanála nó in imeachtaí dlíthiúla."

    Cruthaíodh an tuarascáil seo trí úsáid a bhaint as meascán sonraí ó Chomhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe mar aon le foinsí seachtracha 3ú páirtí amhail an tSeirbhís Páirceanna Náisiúnta agus Fiadhúlra, Suirbhéireacht Ordanáis Éireann, agus cinn eile. Baineann seirbhís tuairisce réamhphleanála na Gaillimhe úsáid as na sonraí is fearr atá ar fáil don Chomhairle nuair a ghintear an tuairisc. I gcásanna áirithe, d'fhéadfadh na sonraí a úsáidtear chun do thuairisc a ullmhú a bheith neamhiomlán nó as dáta agus ní féidir le Comhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe é sin a rialú. Mar sin, moltar duit do thuairisc a úsáid chun críocha táscacha amháin, agus gan a bheith ag brath ar na torthaí chun dul ar aghaidh le hiarratas ar chead pleanála, nó ar shlí eile. Níl Comhairle Chontae na Gaillimhe freagrach as aon fadhbanna sonraí atá i do thuairisc. Moltar duit Téarmaí agus Coinníollacha iomlána sheirbhís Thuairisc Réamhphleanála na Gaillimhe a léamh chun eolas cúlra ina iomláine a fháil. Níl sé i gceist go n-úsáidfidh pleanálaithe ná comhairleoirí gairmiúla an tseirbhís seo nó an t-eolas atá sa tuairisc seo chun cabhrú le haon seirbhísí a chuireann siad ar fáil.
