Certain rules apply to planning permission applications. According to the Citizen’s Information Ireland website, you must give a public notice of your proposals before making the application, through a site notice and a local newspaper. The local authority must receive the application within 2 weeks of the newspaper notice, and the site notice must be put up either before or on the date of the application and must remain in place for at least 5 weeks.* You should not start the build before the granting of permission. Some conditions may apply to your planning and this may mean changes to your proposal and a limited time of 5 years usually applies to any application. If your planning is refused, you will be given the reasons for refusal and will have the opportunity to appeal the decision.

*Exclusions apply over the Christmas period

If you are building an extension to your home, you may not require planning permission. Please see the section on planning permission for an extension for more information.
