Rossmore Carrigtwohill Co Cork

What’s proposed

The site comprises an existing quarry of 15.5 ha approximately (plus an additional 0.36 ha overburden, approximately) and 2 no. adjacent pieces of land of 4.06 ha and 0.53 ha, approximately. The existing quarry is permitted to a depth of 0m OD and includes an asphalt plant and associated facilities (Cork County Council Planning Reg. No. S/02/5476 ; An Bord Pleanála Ref. No. PL04.203762). The proposed development will consist of: the deepening of the existing permitted limestone, sand and gravel quarry by 20 metres (i.e. 1 no. extractive bench from 0m OD to – 20m OD), which will extend the existing quarry below the water table level and extend the life of the quarry by approximately 15 no. years; the provision of an infiltration pond system for managing the groundwater generated (including 1 no. attenuation pond, 2 no. settlement lagoons [phased provision], and 1 no. infiltration pond, together with maintenance access road and perimeter fencing); a westward realignment of the existing private access road adjoining the site to form a new entrance onto the east-west public road to the north (LP3619-0) providing a staggered junction at this location with new visibility splay; the provision of a revised access point to the public road for the existing residential property where the existing private road currently joins the public road; and the waiving of Condition No. 2 of An Bord pleanála Ref. No. PL04.203762 (Planning Reg. No. S/02/5476), to allow for the continuance of use of the quarry together with the asphalt plant and ancillary site works as permitted. The proposed development will not result in any increase in either the permitted area of the existing quarry void or the permitted output rate of the existing quarry, which is proposed to be maintained at a rate of 250,000 tonnes per annum. The proposed development will utilize the existing on-site haul road from the site entrance adjacent to the asphalt plant and proceed one-way around the south/west of the lagoon to a proposed two-way haulage ramp, which will extend from the southern boundary of the proposed extractive area. Traffic is proposed to exit from here one-way via the north/east of the lagoon towards the site exit. The proposed development will also include landscaping, reduced screening berms to a minimum of 5 metres high at the northern boundary, and all other site development works above and below ground, including a new restoration plan for the final quarry void

Planning permission for an extension in Ireland — the 45 m² exemption and a 94% grant rateDublin councils granted 94% of extension applications decided in the year to September 2026. Since 27 July 2026 a rear extension of up to 45 m² can be exempt. The conditions, when you still apply, the fee and the timeline.
Planning application fees and costs in Ireland — €34 for an extension, €65 for a house, treble for retentionThe council fee is the smallest cost of a planning application. Schedule 9 fees for a house, an extension, retention and commercial floor space; the €20 observation, the €220 appeal, development contributions and what the drawings and notices cost.
Site notice planning rules — 22% of Dublin applications invalid, and the notice is the top cause2,539 of the 11,409 applications received by Dublin councils in the year to September 2026 were declared invalid; in South Dublin nearly half were for the site notice. What it must say, where it goes, when it turns yellow.
How long does planning permission take in Ireland? A 53-day median, and the tailThe median Dublin application took 53 days from receipt to decision in the year to September 2026; one in ten took over 161 days. The eight-week clock, what stops it, and what "final grant" means.
