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.

What it says

Z2: Residential Neighbourhoods (Conservation Areas): To protect and/or improve the amenities of residential conservation areas.

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.

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 58 permissions since 2016, 30 show a start notice and 1 has a completion certificate. Most owners opt out of sign-off.

    71 applications lodged within 500 m. Council: 57 approved, 5 refused. After appeals: 58 approved. Of those: 1 signed off, 20 built with the owner's opt-out, 9 started, 28 with no start notice found, 0 ran out.LODGEDCOUNCIL DECISIONAFTER APPEALSWHAT HAPPENED NEXT57: lodged → approved5: lodged → refused9: lodged → withdrawn or invalid56: approved → approved3: refused → refused9: withdrawn or invalid → withdrawn1 approved by the council, withdrawn or invalid after an appeal2 refused by the council, approved after an appeal28: approved → no start notice found20: approved → built, owner opted out9: approved → started, not signed off1: approved → signed off71 lodged71 lodged57 approved57 approved5 refused5 refused9 withdrawn or invalid9 withdrawn or invalid58 approved58 approved3 refused3 refused10 withdrawn10 withdrawn28 no start notice found28 no start notice found20 built, owner opted out20 built, owner opted out9 started, not signed off9 started, not signed off1 signed off1 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.
