Understanding Planning Rules

    I'm originally from Ratoath, Co. Meath and am considering moving back to the area. I went to school in the area and lived there for 26/7 years. In the last few years I've moved to Dublin and bought an apartment.

    Ideally, I'd like to move home, buy a site and build on it.

    I looked at a property with some land on it today and was asking whether the vendor would sell a site off it separately. The estate agent said I wouldn't be able to build on it as it's zoned agricultural.

    Is is possible to build a property on agricultural land by applying for planning permission, assuming you meet the local needs requirements?

    That’s how many times the question has been asked before.

    Short version: Read the development plan

    You’ve acknowledged you own a dwelling in Dublin, and your not living in the area, that this is rural farm land, so the proposed dwelling would potentially be adding to urban sprawl, adding another commuter to Dublin, contrary to everything the planning and sustainable development legislation stands for.

    That is only the tip of the iceberg.
    You will. We’d to read this, then the local needs , then the development plan then over 1500 pages of technical building regulations.

    Short answer is no. You cannot even apply for planning for a dwelling on land zoned agri.

    Thanks - there's plenty of houses been built in the area over the last 5 years.
