Planning advice & regulations compliance

Navigating the planning system in Ireland can be complex, especially if you are beginning a project for the first time. Every development, whether a new home, an extension, or a commercial scheme, must comply with national planning laws as well as local development plans. Our planning advice and regulations compliance service provides the clarity and confidence you need to progress without unnecessary delays or costly mistakes. Understanding the Planning System in Ireland We begin by reviewing your project in the context of local planning policy and zoning regulations. This includes assessing whether your proposal is exempt from planning permission or if a full planning application is required. We also examine the County Development Plan and Local Area Plan, which set out what can and cannot be built in specific areas. By clarifying these requirements early, we help you avoid unexpected challenges later in the process. More Than Planning Permission Compliance in Ireland extends beyond planning permission. Irish building regulations cover essential aspects such as: • Fire safety and structural integrity • Accessibility and universal design standards • Energy efficiency and sustainable construction practices Our team ensures that your design aligns with these requirements from the very beginning. By integrating compliance into the design process, we minimise the risk of costly changes during construction and create a smoother approval journey. Benefits for Homeowners and Developers For homeowners, this brings peace of mind that your extension or renovation meets all legal and technical standards. For developers and commercial clients, it ensures that your investment is safeguarded and your project moves forward efficiently through the planning and building control system. With years of experience working with planning authorities across Ireland, we understand common challenges such as zoning restrictions, heritage considerations, or updates to building regulations. We provide practical solutions that keep your project on track. Setting a Clear Path Forward Our goal is to simplify the planning and compliance process while providing a clear roadmap to success. With the right planning advice and a strong focus on regulatory compliance, you can be confident that your project will meet both your vision and all statutory requirements in Ireland.
