Question 1

What's the planning story of this house?

Figure 1

When it was built, and the rules since

Most homes here were built before 1919, before planning permission was needed. 3 planning files on this house, the latest from 2001.

Timeline from 1896: planning permission needed from October 1964, building regulations from June 1992, building records online from March 2014, sign-off opt-out from September 2015. Most homes here were built 1900–1918. 3 planning files on this house.1900191019201930194019501960197019801990200020102020Oct 1964permission neededJun 1992building regulationsMar 2014building records onlineSep 2015owners may opt out of sign-offThis houseAll of CoosheenBuilt: most homes in this small area date from 1900–1918 (census estimate)most built2001: 00/4289 · dwellinghouse, approved1999: 99/5729 · dwellinghouse, refused1999: 99/3132 · attic or dormer, refused1998: 3 files on Coosheen1999: 4 files on Coosheen2000: 4 files on Coosheen2001: 2 files on Coosheen2002: 1 file on Coosheen2003: 1 file on Coosheen2004: 2 files on Coosheen2005: 5 files on Coosheen2006: 4 files on Coosheen2007: 7 files on Coosheen2008: 4 files on Coosheen2009: 5 files on Coosheen2010: 2 files on Coosheen2011: 3 files on Coosheen2012: 1 file on Coosheen2013: 2 files on Coosheen2014: 3 files on Coosheen2015: 2 files on Coosheen2017: 1 file on Coosheen2018: 3 files on Coosheen2020: 1 file on Coosheen2021: 2 files on Coosheen2022: 1 file on Coosheen2023: 1 file on Coosheen2025: 1 file on Coosheen65 files

How we work this out
'On this site' means the record's own map outline touches the registered parcel (or a 12 m circle round the point where there is no parcel). Only the council's own list confirms a protected building; ask the council if in doubt. The OPW flood map's licence lets us show a yes/no only.

How we work this out
Applications whose site outline (or map point) falls on this property. 'No sign building has started' means we found no notice to the council's building control office; small jobs don't always file one, so ask. A missing completion certificate is not proof of a problem: an owner can opt out of official sign-off for a house or extension built for themselves.

    How we work this out
    Home extensions are read from the application's description (extension, attic or dormer, porch, garage conversion, garden room), so a few may be missed or mislabelled. The kind is the first that fits: a dormer with a rear extension counts as a dormer. Refusal reasons come from An Coimisiún Pleanála's inspector reports, so they exist only where the refusal was appealed (Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown so far). The council's own reasons are on its planning file.

        Homes approved counts schemes of 10 or more homes (one-off houses are not included). Homes started counts every home in a notice that building work was starting. The council figure is the middle value across the council's built-up squares of the same area (3.1 km², about a 1 km circle), so half of them saw more and half fewer.
