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. 2 planning files on this house, the latest from 2021.

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. Most homes here were built 1919–1945. 2 planning files on this house.19201930194019501960197019801990200020102020Oct 1964permission neededJun 1992building regulationsMar 2014building records onlineSep 2015owners may opt out of sign-offThis houseBuilt: most homes in this small area date from 1919–1945 (census estimate)most built2021: WEB1395/21 · work already done, approved2021: WEB1381/21 · work already done, withdrawn or invalid

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.

Question 2

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.

What happens to applications within 500 m

Of those: 7 signed off, 44 built with the owner's opt-out, 26 started, 58 with no start notice found, 0 ran out.LODGEDCOUNCIL DECISIONAFTER APPEALSWHAT HAPPENED NEXT137: lodged → approved11: lodged → refused18: lodged → withdrawn or invalid3: lodged → undecided133: approved → approved9: refused → refused18: withdrawn or invalid → withdrawn3: undecided → undecided4 approved by the council, withdrawn or invalid after an appeal2 refused by the council, approved after an appeal58: approved → no start notice found44: approved → built, owner opted out26: approved → started, not signed off7: approved → signed off169 lodged169 lodged137 approved137 approved11 refused11 refused18 withdrawn or invalid18 withdrawn or invalid3 undecided3 undecided135 approved135 approved9 refused9 refused22 withdrawn22 withdrawn3 undecided3 undecided58 no start notice found58 no start notice found44 built, owner opted out44 built, owner opted out26 started, not signed off26 started, not signed off7 signed off7 signed off

    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.
