Planning permission requirements depend on the nature of the development, location, applicable exemptions, local development plan and any special site designations.
How we can assist
We start by understanding the proposal, reviewing the available planning history and identifying the applicable planning authority and policy framework. The scope of any subsequent work is agreed before instruction.
Planning feasibility
A review of the site, existing lawful use and policy context can identify the main planning questions before detailed design.
The application process
The correct planning authority, application documentation, public notices and validation requirements must be established under the rules applicable when the application is submitted.
Planning policy
National planning policy, the relevant local development plan and site-specific standards can all influence the assessment.
After a decision
Permissions may contain conditions, and refusal or appeal options require careful consideration of statutory deadlines.
Information to include with your enquiry
The more accurately we understand the site and proposed development, the more useful an initial response can be.
- Full property address and Eircode, if available
- Existing use and proposed use or works
- Any planning reference numbers, decisions or drawings
- Relevant timescales and known constraints
Questions worth considering
- Do all works require permission?
- Which planning authority should I contact?
- What happens after submission?
