Planning permission

Stretch1432

Does anyone one know how hard it is to get planning permission and how much it costs in Kildare ? My parents land . I bought Property in another county but am looking to move back . Hearing 10k per application and it takes a few applications ?

If anyone has any information on this topic it would be greatly appreciated ?

Will only take one application if you do it right. Ring your local co. council and ask for a pre-planning meeting. they are free.

They will tell you what you need to do. You need to get drawings of house and site, OSI map of site and area etc.

Definitely not 10k. I think you are mixing up planning permission with development levies

Depends on what you are looking for and how you add it up. I spent 20k on a complicated planning that required numerous surveys and lots of other stuff including expensive insurance, but the actual planning cost less than a couple of thousand (the final amount got lost in all the other stuff). You will have to have house plans drawn up to a basic level (the detailed stuff gets done after the planning) so you will have architects and engineers fees to pay.

It depends on whether there is a local housing need requirement or how complex that is:

There's a guidance document here:

If there is housing need requirement you might find it difficult to satisfy it.

I am mostly familiar with Galway and that stipulation in planning adds a bit more complextity to getting permission.

Getting planning approval can cost anything from 4K to a hell of a lot more depending on what has to be submitted and the level of complexity.

The first response gave you some good insight.
