"Cork County Council has over many years provided a professional and high quality service to all stakeholders who interact with the Planning Service.

"The Council, through its management, staff and Elected Members has always sought to plan for and develop the County in accordance with sound sustainable development principles.

"Everyone who has a part to play in the planning process needs to be mindful that planning is about people, their environment and their current and future needs not about inflexible and predetermined views."
