Dear Mike,

Was the house extended before? If no you wouldn’t need planning permission to our knowledge.

Hi I’m thinking of a small cabin extension connected to the side of my semi-d in South Dublin Co.Co. area. Footprint of approx. 14sqm only. Lean to roof from gable of house and connecting door to house in gable. Do you think this will need planning permission? Intended use as a kids playroom. Appreciate any feedback thanks.

In reply to Tristan. Dear Tristan, In our opinion you can do all above with no planning permission. However if you will live in that cabin it will be classified as residential and would require planning permission. You can use it as office with bathroom no problem.

Hi. What about connecting electricity and septic? I’m thinking wind and maybe solar. Any idea if that impacts needing planning permission or not? ( Less than 25sqm).

Thanks

In reply to Patrick. Dear Patrick, As this cabin is above 25sq meters it would generally need the planning permission. You mentioned its not on concrete base so it doesn't qualify as permanent structure so it would fall in to the grey area of the planning permission requirements in our opinion.
