Greater Dublin Area (GDA)
The legislative remit of the National Transport Authority within the GDA is two-fold. It includes making submissions related to strategic planning and submissions related to development management and planning applications.
Strategic Planning
Regional Planning Guidelines for the Greater Dublin Area
The Dublin and Mid-East Regional Authorities are the two regional authorities within the GDA and in accordance with Section 95 of the Dublin Transport Authority Act 2008, they are required to consult with the National Transport Authority when making regional planning guidelines.

Development Plans
Where a notice is received by the National Transport Authority from a planning authority it shall, in accordance with Section 95 of the Dublin Transport Authority Act, prepare and submit a report on issues, which in its opinion, should be considered in the preparation of the draft development plan. The report shall state, whether in its view, the draft development plan, is consistent with the GDA transport strategy, or if not, what amendments it considers necessary to achieve such consistency. This process is similar for any submission on the variation of a development plan. In all cases, copies of any submissions made will be sent to the Minister for the Environment and the Minister for Transport.
