Registration of Quarries 2004
Section 261 of the Planning and Development Act 2000 introduced in 2004, a once off system of registration for all quarries, except those
for which planning permission was granted in the previous 5 years.
Under the registration system, quarry operators were required to supply full
details of their operations to the planning authority. This information had to
be submitted by 27th April 2005.
Following the registration of the quarry, the planning authority could

(Planning system in Ireland commenced on 1st October 1964.Quarries operating prior to this date did not require planning
permission.)
-
Require the quarry operator to apply for planning
permission in certain circumstances
-
Restate, modify or add to conditions on the operation
of a quarry which had received planning permission more than 5 years ago
