Further information requests on a planning application — 21% of Dublin files, six months to reply21% of applications received by Dublin councils in the year to September 2026 drew a further information request. What the council is asking, the six-month deadline, what "significant" FI triggers, and what it does to neighbours' rights.
Appeals overturned by council — how often An Coimisiún Pleanála reverses each Dublin council, and in which directionThe Commission reversed the council on 301 of 1,195 Dublin appeals decided in 24 months, 25%. South Dublin was reversed most (30%), Dublin City least (23%), and 76 of Fingal's 85 reversals turned a refusal into a grant. How the appeal works, what a reversal rate means, and how to read your council's number before you appeal.
Judicial review of a planning decision in Ireland — eight weeks, substantial grounds, and who may bring oneThe Commission decided 510 appeals from the seven Dublin-area councils in the 12 months to September 2026, and each opened an eight-week judicial review window. What s.50 allows, what it costs, what the court can and cannot do, and how the 2024 Act changes standing.
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.
