Dublin City: 57 applications lodged, 36 granted, 3 refused in the week to 26 July 2026

Applications received 57

Over the past 52 weeks Dublin City has averaged 55 a week. The observation window on each is five weeks from receipt (article 29 of the 2001 Regulations); the deadline shown is computed from the register date.

Decisions 74

The council refused 3, including WEB1798/26 at Shelbourne Court, Shelbourne Lane, Ballsbridge, Dublin 4. Invalidations: 21. Most invalidations are notice errors (articles 17–19, 2001 Regulations), and a fresh application restarts the clock. The median time from receipt to decision this week was 52 days; the 2000 Act's s.34(8) default is eight weeks unless further information intervenes. A refusal can be appealed to An Coimisiún Pleanála within four weeks of the decision date.

Further information 19

13 applications went to further information (FI); the eight-week clock pauses until the applicant responds. 6 FI responses came back, restarting a four-week decision period.

Appeals 17

11 appeals from Dublin City reached An Coimisiún Pleanála (formerly An Bord Pleanála). The Commission decided 6: 4 granted, 2 refused.

Commencement notices 24

24 commencement notices on the Building Control Management System, 288 homes between them. A notice means work starts within 14 to 28 days.
