An Coimisiún Pleanála Appeal(ACP)
An appeal to Ireland's national planning body (formerly An Bord Pleanála) that can confirm, change or overturn a local authority's planning decision.
An Coimisiún Pleanála (ACP) replaced An Bord Pleanála (ABP) under the Planning and Development Act 2024. A party to a planning application — or a third party who made a submission — can appeal a local-authority decision to An Coimisiún Pleanála within the statutory period. The Commission then makes a fresh (de novo) decision on the application.
An appeal means the project is contested, delayed or being redesigned — but a grant on appeal is a decisive 'this is happening' signal. It's one of the strongest signals for professional readers.
PlanningLeads ingests An Coimisiún Pleanála cases and matches them to leads, powering the 'Appealed' lifecycle filter and the 'Granted on appeal' signal on lead detail.
