    We recently got the front yard converted into a driveway.

    I have been putting off applying for planning permittion for the 'scoop' in the paverment, as I find the documents a bit overwhelming.

    The house is in Dublin, on the south side, so the planning permittion is through Dublin City Council.

    Has anyone done this recently, does anyone know how to do this.

    If you changed to a driveway, did you alter the front boundary in any way? By that, did you open up for a new vehicular entrance? If so, you need permission (retention permission at this stage) for this so basically as part of the application, your agent should note that the pavement is to be dished to satisfaction of the LA, who by the way, will either do themselves or stipulate exactly what their specific requirements are. For your own protection DO NOT stray from their guidelines as if any person was to have an accident as a result of the works, YOU WILL be held accountable if not as told to do.
    It is a very straightforward application procedure tbh. Any good AT/Arch will be well able for it.

    also you must retain (& dispose to the storm mains) any surface water within the site boundary.
    note the council can charge quiet a lot for their guys to sort out the footpath and kerbs.. but as said above this must be done exactly as per their guidelines, due to public liability etc. and they can be quiet particular where retention is concerned
