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: 17 on the draft 2027 map; 17 on the final 2026 map.

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.

    Permission isn't building. Of 16 permissions since 2016, 4 show a start notice and 0 have a completion certificate. Most owners opt out of sign-off.

    17 applications lodged within 500 m. Council: 16 approved, 1 refused. After appeals: 16 approved.

        Generated 31 Oct 2026, 23:45 from the Planning Register store; nothing was fetched live. Not a legal search: the council's planning file is the record. Deadlines come from published dates under the Planning and Development Act 2000: confirm with the council before relying on them.
