What it says

Z1: Sustainable Residential Neighbourhoods: To protect, provide and improve residential amenities.

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. The council's map for the vacant land tax shows this spot inside an area of existing homes. Homes people live in, and their gardens, don't pay the tax. 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 148 permissions since 2016, 61 show a start notice and 6 have a completion certificate. Most owners opt out of sign-off.

    179 applications lodged within 500 m. Council: 151 approved, 8 refused. After appeals: 148 approved. Of those: 6 signed off, 31 built with the owner's opt-out, 24 started, 87 with no start notice found, 0 ran out.LODGEDCOUNCIL DECISIONAFTER APPEALSWHAT HAPPENED NEXT151: lodged → approved8: lodged → refused16: lodged → withdrawn or invalid4: lodged → undecided147: approved → approved7: refused → refused16: withdrawn or invalid → withdrawn4: undecided → undecided1 approved by the council, undecided after an appeal3 approved by the council, withdrawn or invalid after an appeal1 refused by the council, approved after an appeal87: approved → no start notice found31: approved → built, owner opted out24: approved → started, not signed off6: approved → signed off179 lodged179 lodged151 approved151 approved8 refused8 refused16 withdrawn or invalid16 withdrawn or invalid4 undecided4 undecided148 approved148 approved7 refused7 refused19 withdrawn19 withdrawn5 undecided5 undecided87 no start notice found87 no start notice found31 built, owner opted out31 built, owner opted out24 started, not signed off24 started, not signed off6 signed off6 signed off

      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.

      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.
