The BusConnects Templeogue/Rathfarnham Scheme is a Statutory Infrastructure Development (SID). SIDs are developments that contribute significantly to meeting the objectives of the National Planning Framework, or contribute significantly to spatial and economic strategy for the area, or have a significant effect on more than one planning area. SID applications are made directly to An Bord Pleanála.

Submit your observation by the deadline - 5.30pm on 15th August 2023.
Pay €50 fee.
