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.
Hotel and aparthotel planning applications in Dublin — 253 files in three years, three-quarters of them in the city253 applications mentioning a hotel, aparthotel or hostel reached the Greater Dublin registers in 36 months, 141 granted and 35 refused. Dublin City holds 185 of them, and the live files are the big ones — a ten-year permission on the Citigroup building at North Wall Quay, a 188-bedroom hotel at Drogheda's IDA park, a nightclub on Dame Court turning into a 14-room boutique hotel. What the files are, where they are refused, and every recent one linked.
An Bord Pleanála appeal, now An Coimisiún Pleanála — four weeks, €220, and a 25% reversal rateThe Commission reversed the council in 25% of the 1,195 Dublin-area appeals decided in the two years to September 2026. Who can appeal, the four weeks, the €220 fee, why 240 appeals a year fail on procedure, and the odds by direction.
Certificate of compliance with planning permission in Ireland17% of GDA planning applications are retention. Who can sign a certificate of compliance with planning permission, what the RIAI / Law Society opinion covers, the gaps it leaves.
