Decisions 27
The council refused 5, including F26A/0548E at Laurel View, Mainscourt, Ballyboughal, Co. Dublin, A41 K448. Invalidations: 1. 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.
