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.

The site zoning, protection, tax, flood

ZoningR2 · Existing residential
What it says

RS: Provide for residential development and protect and improve residential amenity.

An established residential area. The objective is to protect existing residential amenity as well as to provide housing — which is the objective a neighbour's objection to an overbearing extension is usually argued under.

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. This land is on the council's final map for the vacant land tax. Unless it is a home someone lives in (or its garden), the owner pays 3% of the land's value a year until homes are built or the zoning changes. The OPW flood map's licence lets us show a yes/no only. Land on the vacant land tax map nearby: 422 on the draft 2027 map; 422 on the final 2026 map.

How we work this out
Each row is a dated fact from a public register: no score and no forecast. Derelict buildings come from the council's register; stalled builds told the council they were starting 3+ years ago and were never signed off; approved schemes are 10+ homes with no notice that building started; council land sales are notices to councillors; empty zoned land is on the vacant land tax map.

On Boreenatra: 3 extensions in 10 years; most common first-floor.

Refused within 100 m 0 in 5 years

Nothing refused this close in 5 years.

    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.

    Each row is a notice the builder sent to the council's building control office before work started. One notice can cover many homes. 'Signed off as finished' means a completion certificate is on file; work done under an opt-out or a short notice doesn't need one.

    How we work this out
    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.

    What the terms mean 9 terms

    • Vacant land tax (Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT)): A yearly tax of 3% of the land's value on land that is zoned for homes and serviced but left unbuilt.
    • Building started (Commencement notice (BCMS)): The builder must tell the council's building control office 14 to 28 days before work starts.
    • Signed off as finished (Certificate of Compliance on Completion): A certificate filed when a building is finished, confirming it meets the building regulations.
    • Approved (Grant of permission): The council said yes, usually with conditions.
    • Approval ran out without being built (Permission lapsed / expired): Most permissions last five years.
    • Comment on an application (Observation / submission): Anyone can comment on a planning application within five weeks of it being lodged, for a €20 fee.

    • What the land is zoned for (Zoning objective): The council's development plan sets what each area is for: homes, shops, open space and so on.
    • Building site that stopped (Commenced, no completion certificate): A housing build that told the council it was starting at least three years ago, passed its own planned finish date, and has never been signed off as finished.
