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 2001–10, under planning permission and building regulations. 4 planning files on this house, the latest from 2025.

Timeline from 1955: 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 2001–2010. 4 planning files on this house.1960197019801990200020102020Oct 1964permission neededJun 1992building regulationsMar 2014building records onlineSep 2015owners may opt out of sign-offThis houseBuilt: most homes in this small area date from 2001–2010 (census estimate)most built2025: 2460261 · garden room, approved2023: 2360006 · garden room, approved2021: 21128 · new house, refused2020: 19377 · new house, approved

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: 16 on the draft 2027 map; 16 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.

Question 2

Could you extend?

Nothing on this site restricts it: not protected, not in a conservation area.

What happened to applications like yours

Extensions are almost always approved here: 93–100% by type. A new house in a garden is harder: 80% approved, and 1 in 3 is asked for more information.

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 68 permissions since 2016, 20 show a start notice and 5 have a completion certificate. Most owners opt out of sign-off.

    75 applications lodged within 500 m. Council: 65 approved, 10 refused. After appeals: 68 approved. Of those: 5 signed off, 12 built with the owner's opt-out, 3 started, 30 with no start notice found, 18 ran out.LODGEDCOUNCIL DECISIONAFTER APPEALSWHAT HAPPENED NEXT65: lodged → approved10: lodged → refused65: approved → approved7: refused → refused3 refused by the council, approved after an appeal30: approved → no start notice found12: approved → built, owner opted out3: approved → started, not signed off5: approved → signed off18: approved → ran out75 lodged75 lodged65 approved65 approved10 refused10 refused68 approved68 approved7 refused7 refused30 no start notice found30 no start notice found12 built, owner opted out12 built, owner opted out3 started, not signed off3 started, not signed off5 signed off5 signed off18 ran out18 ran 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.
