Crèche and childcare planning applications in Dublin — half arrive inside housing schemes369 applications mentioning a crèche, childcare facility, Montessori or pre-school reached the Greater Dublin registers in 36 months, 234 granted and 34 refused. 196 of them are a crèche inside a housing scheme, required by the 2001 childcare guidelines at one facility of about 20 places per 75 homes; 173 are standalone, and 52 of those are a change of use of a shop, house or office. Where they are granted, why the standalone ones are refused, 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.
