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.
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 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.
