Explanatory notes for applicants
What is neighbour notification?

Occupiers of buildings which would adjoin the boundary of your site but for an entry or a road less than 20 metres wide are also regarded as neighbours.In deciding on the application the Department will only consider those comments which have to do with planning matters and will not consider anything else. Non planning matters include:
- Issues covered by other regulations, for example licensing and building control;
- Private property rights, for example, disputes about boundaries or access;
- The reasons why a developer is making the application or their activities elsewhere;
- Moral issues related to the proposal.
Remember that applications cannot be considered until all the relevant information has been submitted.
