Change of use planning permission in Ireland — 84% granted, short-term letting 2 in 6Dublin councils granted 455 of the 544 change-of-use applications they decided in the 12 months to September 2026. What a material change of use is, which changes are exempt under Part 4, and why short-term letting is refused more than any other.
Apartment and build-to-rent planning applications in Dublin — the register's largest schemes, council by council399 applications mentioning apartments reached the Greater Dublin registers in 12 months, 136 granted and 41 refused, with 7,666 homes in the files that state a count. South Dublin and Meath carry the big schemes (886 homes at Clonburris, 757 at Moygaddy), Dublin City carries the volume. Which councils grant, where the refusals cluster, and every recent file linked.
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.
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.
