Fingal: 33 applications lodged, 19 granted, 2 refused in the week to 16 August 2026

Applications received 33

Over the past 52 weeks Fingal has averaged 34 a week. Each row links to the application page, where the observation deadline is computed from the receipt date under article 29 of the 2001 Regulations.

Decisions 34

The council refused 2, including F26A/0542 at Oakwood, Chapel Road, Portmarnock, Co. Dublin, D13 HY49. Invalidations: 13. Most invalidations are notice errors (articles 17–19, 2001 Regulations), and a fresh application restarts the clock. Median receipt-to-decision: 51 days (s.34(8) of the 2000 Act sets eight weeks before any further-information stop). A refusal can be appealed to An Coimisiún Pleanála within four weeks of the decision date.

Further information 20

13 applications went to further information (FI); the eight-week clock pauses until the applicant responds. Replies to FI arrived on 7; the council has four weeks from each to decide.

Appeals 6

3 appeals from Fingal reached An Coimisiún Pleanála (formerly An Bord Pleanála). The Commission decided 3: 1 granted, 2 refused.

Commencement notices 10

10 commencement notices on the Building Control Management System, 180 homes between them. A notice means work starts within 14 to 28 days.

Against the run rate

Grant rate = grants ÷ (grants + refusals); invalidations and further-information requests are not decisions.
