set out the procedures for applying for and obtaining planning permission
define those types of development which are exempt from the planning process
define the special requirements for protected structures, conservation areas and areas of special planning control
set out the development plan process, at local and regional level
give a structure to planning and development contribution fees
establish and govern the operation of An Bord Pleanála, Ireland’s planning appeals body
