Data centre planning applications in Dublin — what the register holds and what is exemptFifteen data-centre applications reached the Greater Dublin registers in 36 months, 11 granted and 3 refused, almost all of them at Grange Castle, Profile Park and Citywest in South Dublin. Most are not new buildings but extensions of duration, section 5 declarations for generators and platforms, and the network gateways that feed the campuses. What each kind of file means, where the EIA and grid questions sit, and every file 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 — what the architect's opinion covers and what it does notRetention applications were 17% of everything lodged in the GDA over 12 months, and a fifth of those decided were refused. What a certificate or opinion on compliance with planning permission says, who signs it, the Law Society and RIAI forms, and the gaps a buyer should close from the register.
How long does planning permission last? Five years, and a 79% rate on extensions of durationA permission lasts five years from the grant. Dublin councils granted 79% of the 343 extension-of-duration applications lodged in the two years to September 2026. What "commenced" means and how to apply in time.
