In order to ensure that development in Cork City is both orderly and of a high standard part of the role of the Planning Directorate is to make sure that development has the necessary permissions under the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) and the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended). Unauthorised development relates to developments and/or uses that are in breach of the planning laws. The role of ensuring that all development has the necessary permissions is also known as Planning Enforcement.

A development is unauthorised when :-

• Planning permission is required and has not been obtained.
• Planning permission was granted but the development is not being carried out in accordance with the plans lodged or conditions of the planning permission granted.
• The development It does not comply with all the conditions and limitations to qualify a development as exempt.
