Services
From the objection letter to the High Court — and the developer’s chair too.
Planning Law in Ireland
The hub: the system end to end, the three windows, the reformed regime being phased in - and which route fits your situation.
Objections & Observations
Solicitor-drafted submissions within the five-week window: proper planning grounds, development-plan policies - and your appeal right preserved.
Appeals to An Coimisiún Pleanála
The four-week appeal, first- or third-party: grounds drafted to how the board actually decides, process handled end to end.
Planning Judicial Review
The High Court tier: challenging unlawful permissions within the eight-week window - and defending granted permissions under attack.
Enforcement Advice & Defence
Warning letters and enforcement notices answered properly, the seven-year rule honestly applied, regularisation routes assessed.
Retention & Regularisation
When retention works, when it cannot, the race with enforcement - and the honest risk framing before anything is lodged.
Exempted Development & Section 5
Extensions, attic conversions, garden structures, short-term lets - and the Section 5 declaration that gives certainty.
Compulsory Purchase & Compensation
The landowner’s corner: objecting to the CPO, the compensation framework in principle, the process from notice to vesting.
Developer & Landowner Services
Pre-application risk review, JR-proofing, conditions and contributions, taking-in-charge - and enforcement defence.
Rural & One-Off Housing
Local-needs policies decoded, refusal patterns, agricultural dwellings - and the appeal for the refused rural house.
Neighbour Disputes & Mediation
Overlooking, overshadowing, boundary-adjacent works - the objection as the civilised route, mediation before litigation.
Environmental, EIA & AA Screening
Screening in plain English, public participation rights - and why screening errors decide so many High Court cases.
Free Tools
The Planning Permission Checker maps common projects against exempted-development territory and the conditions that remove it, and the Planning Deadline Mapper shows which statutory window your situation is standing in. Both run entirely on your device — nothing is stored or sent.
A Document in Hand, or a Site Notice Next Door?
Either way the first step is the same: send what exists with your dates, tell the story in ten lines, and get the honest position - route, window, and whether it's worth it - within 48 hours.
