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 1919–45, before planning permission was needed.

Timeline from 1915: planning permission needed from October 1964, building regulations from June 1992, building records online from March 2014, sign-off opt-out from September 2015.

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.

Could you extend?

    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 26 permissions since 2016, 12 show a start notice and 1 has a completion certificate. Most owners opt out of sign-off.

    37 applications lodged within 500 m. Council: 25 approved, 7 refused. After appeals: 26 approved. Of those: 1 signed off, 7 built with the owner's opt-out, 4 started, 14 with no start notice found, 0 ran out.LODGEDCOUNCIL DECISIONAFTER APPEALSWHAT HAPPENED NEXT25: lodged → approved7: lodged → refused2: lodged → withdrawn or invalid3: lodged → undecided23: approved → approved4: refused → refused2: withdrawn or invalid → withdrawn3: undecided → undecided1 approved by the council, undecided after an appeal1 approved by the council, refused after an appeal3 refused by the council, approved after an appeal14: approved → no start notice found7: approved → built, owner opted out4: approved → started, not signed off1: approved → signed off37 lodged37 lodged25 approved25 approved7 refused7 refused2 withdrawn or invalid2 withdrawn or invalid3 undecided3 undecided26 approved26 approved5 refused5 refused2 withdrawn2 withdrawn4 undecided4 undecided14 no start notice found14 no start notice found7 built, owner opted out7 built, owner opted out4 started, not signed off4 started, not signed off1 signed off1 signed off

    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.

      Generated 1 Nov 2026, 00:11 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.
