How long does planning permission last in Ireland?
5 years

How many objections before a planning application goes to committee?
However, generally speaking 5 – 10 good objections are often enough to get an application ‘called in’ to a committee meeting for councillors to decide (although this does differ between local authorities).
How long should planning applications take?
Most planning applications are decided within eight weeks, unless they are unusually large or complex, in which case the time limit is extended to 13 weeks. The authority should be able to give you an idea about the likely timetable.
Is a plan search necessary?
Why Order a Planning Search? If you are a purchaser, it makes sense to order a planning search if you are moving to an area which you do not know well, or if you have children and want to know about local schools or if crime rates are an important factor in your decision whether or not to purchase a property.
On what grounds can you object to planning permission?
There are lots of valid objections to planning applications, called “material planning considerations”. These include: Loss of light or overshadowing (this isn’t just a high wall – it means loss of light to the extent that you don’t get enough natural daylight to see by). Overlooking/loss of privacy.
On what grounds can planning be rejected?
Planning permission can be denied if your build is guilty of these offenses: Your build overshadows a neighbour, causing loss of light. Your build overlooks other homes, causing loss of privacy. Your builds appearance is out of character with the existing property.
