In all cases where an application involves a proposal to use a septic tank or other on-site treatment system, a site assessment is required. The site assessments are carried out by private operators. The most up-to-date list of approved assessors is available below or you can request a list by post from our offices.
From the 1st of June 2007 in accordance with article 22(2)(c) of the Planning and Development Regulations 2006, applicants are required to submit the site assessment at the time of making the application.
Where the applicant is proposing to use an on-site treatment system, details of this system also needs to be submitted at the time of making the application.
Failure to submit the site assessment and details of the on-site treatment system will result in the planning application being invalidated.
You must submit two copies of the site assessment with your planning application.
Please note that when hiring of private operators to carry out a site assessment test you are entering into a private contract between you, the applicant, and the private assessor.
