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.

Nothing refused this close in the last 12 months.

    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.

    What happens to applications within 500 m

    Permission isn't building. Of 15 permissions since 2016, 6 show a start notice and 1 has a completion certificate. Most owners opt out of sign-off.

    17 applications lodged within 500 m. Council: 15 approved, 2 refused. After appeals: 15 approved. Of those: 1 signed off, 4 built with the owner's opt-out, 1 started, 5 with no start notice found, 4 ran out.LODGEDCOUNCIL DECISIONAFTER APPEALSWHAT HAPPENED NEXT15: lodged → approved2: lodged → refused15: approved → approved2: refused → refused5: approved → no start notice found4: approved → built, owner opted out1: approved → started, not signed off1: approved → signed off4: approved → ran out17 lodged17 lodged15 approved15 approved2 refused2 refused15 approved15 approved2 refused2 refused5 no start notice found5 no start notice found4 built, owner opted out4 built, owner opted out1 started, not signed off1 started, not signed off1 signed off1 signed off4 ran out4 ran out

        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.

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.

        Generated 15 Oct 2026, 23:54 from the Planning Register store; nothing was fetched live. Not a legal search: the council's planning file is the record.
