The Planning Process

View From our new front door

After getting the go ahead at the pre planning we set about getting all the drawings and sections of the house together, myself and the engineer surveyed the site and we set up our planning pack, details of this can be got on your local council website. The items you require for this apart from the drawings are carry out the percolation test, get land map drawings from ordinace survey ireland, and send site notice to a pre approved newspaper as issued by your county council.

We submitted our planning pack on the 19th of May 2006 and you then have your three month waiting period before you here anything from the council presuming that your application is validated ie "complete" it is very important that you check this thouroghly before submitting as small mistakes can lead to big delays.
