CIR 09/24 | Declarations for Y-plates (5)

Following the issuance of four circulars addressing concerns related to Y-plate operator licences, it has come to the Council’s attention that some periti may still be signing declarations that are potentially fraudulent or non-compliant with planning regulations.

The Council is actively investigating these cases to identify any instances of malpractice. Members found to have acted in bad faith or through sheer negligence may face disciplinary action, including warrant suspensions of up to one year per instance, as per recently Council-approved sentencing guideline.

We remind all periti to exercise utmost caution and diligence in their professional duties, ensuring that all necessary checks are conducted before signing declarations. It is critical to uphold the highest standards of the profession and comply fully with planning and regulatory requirements.

The Council will continue to monitor this issue closely and will provide updates as necessary. Members are advised to refer to Circular 4/24 and subsequent communications for guidance on their obligations.
