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 1971–80, after planning permission began and before building regulations (1992). 1 planning file on this house, the latest from 2018.

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 1971–1980. 1 planning file on this house.1960197019801990200020102020Oct 1964permission neededJun 1992building regulationsMar 2014building records onlineSep 2015owners may opt out of sign-offThis houseAll of Castleknock LodgeBuilt: most homes in this small area date from 1971–1980 (census estimate)most built2018: FW17A/0217 · demolition, approved2011: 1 file on Castleknock Lodge2013: 1 file on Castleknock Lodge2014: 2 files on Castleknock Lodge2016: 2 files on Castleknock Lodge2017: 1 file on Castleknock Lodge2018: 2 files on Castleknock Lodge2019: 1 file on Castleknock Lodge2020: 1 file on Castleknock Lodge2021: 2 files on Castleknock Lodge2022: 2 files on Castleknock Lodge2025: 1 file on Castleknock Lodge16 files

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. Land on the vacant land tax map nearby: 17 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.

Could you extend?

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

    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.

    How we work this 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.

    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.
