Something wrong with this page?

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.
Hotel and aparthotel planning applications in Dublin — 253 files in three years, three-quarters of them in the city253 applications mentioning a hotel, aparthotel or hostel reached the Greater Dublin registers in 36 months, 141 granted and 35 refused. Dublin City holds 185 of them, and the live files are the big ones — a ten-year permission on the Citigroup building at North Wall Quay, a 188-bedroom hotel at Drogheda's IDA park, a nightclub on Dame Court turning into a 14-room boutique hotel. What the files are, where they are refused, and every recent one linked.
How to object to a planning application in Ireland — five weeks, €20, and 348 open windows today348 Dublin-area applications are inside their five-week observation window as this page was built. Anyone can make a submission for €20. Since the 2024 Act it is also the ticket to an appeal and, for most people, to judicial review.
Site notice planning rules — 22% of Dublin applications invalid, and the notice is the top cause2,539 of the 11,409 applications received by Dublin councils in the year to September 2026 were declared invalid; in South Dublin nearly half were for the site notice. What it must say, where it goes, when it turns yellow.
