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 2001–10, under planning permission and building regulations.

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.

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: 7 on the draft 2027 map; 7 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.

    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 54 permissions since 2016, 30 show a start notice and 4 have a completion certificate. Most owners opt out of sign-off.

    104 applications lodged within 500 m. Council: 55 approved, 16 refused. After appeals: 54 approved. Of those: 4 signed off, 16 built with the owner's opt-out, 10 started, 24 with no start notice found, 0 ran out.LODGEDCOUNCIL DECISIONAFTER APPEALSWHAT HAPPENED NEXT55: lodged → approved16: lodged → refused27: lodged → withdrawn or invalid6: lodged → undecided53: approved → approved15: refused → refused27: withdrawn or invalid → withdrawn6: undecided → undecided2 approved by the council, withdrawn or invalid after an appeal1 refused by the council, approved after an appeal24: approved → no start notice found16: approved → built, owner opted out10: approved → started, not signed off4: approved → signed off104 lodged104 lodged55 approved55 approved16 refused16 refused27 withdrawn or invalid27 withdrawn or invalid6 undecided6 undecided54 approved54 approved15 refused15 refused29 withdrawn29 withdrawn6 undecided6 undecided24 no start notice found24 no start notice found16 built, owner opted out16 built, owner opted out10 started, not signed off10 started, not signed off4 signed off4 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.
