What’s proposed

The proposal includes 3 elements: 1. Retention of existing single-storey, ground floor, extension on the front (roadside) elevation of the cottage (outlined blue on drawings): a. The extension is a mixed concrete and block wall construction with a single-pitch roof comprising timber rafters, battens and slates. A portion of this extension was built prior to the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963. The area of the extension which was deemed to be constructed sometime after the introduction of the planning legislation comprised 6.2m2 of gross floor area and is outlined in orange on the drawings submitted with this application. 2. Removal of leaking small flat roof and recover by extending adjacent new pitched roof (outlined green on drawings): a. The flat roof is approx. 2.5m x 3.5m and is not visible from the public road due to outbuildings on front. b. Existing adjacent pitched slate roof is being recovered with a standing seam system, matching the existing slate colour, suitable for the 15 deg pitch which will be maintained. The current slates are in need of replacement, and the pitch is not suitable for slates. This treatment will be extended to cover the removed flat roof area. c. The proposed replacement roof works, in my opinion, would not materially affect the external appearance of the structures in question so as to render its appearance inconsistent with the character of the structure itself or of the neighbouring structures as per the provisions of Section 4(1)(h) of the Planning and Development Act 2000, i.e. would meet the threshold for exempted development. 3. Construct a ground floor extension to the rear of the property (outlined green on drawings): a. The extension will serve as a small bathroom, with waste piped to the existing septic tank system. The extension is ground floor only and the total ground footprint area is 6.1m2. Internal floor area is 4.5m2. b. In my opinion, this extension is in accordance with the conditions and limitations prescribed in Schedule 2, Part 1, Class 1 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001, i.e. would meet the threshold for exempted development

Retention planning permission in Ireland — refused 27% of the time, against 7% for extensionsOne in six Dublin applications is for retention, and 27% of retention decisions in the two years to September 2026 were refusals. When you need it, the treble fee, the seven-year rule and the sale-time problem.
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.
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.
