    I was in a similar situation to yourself a few years ago. Had a site on the family farm (in Clare also).

    I got an arcitect to design the house - he was a disaster to deal with, but thats another story. He charged me around 2K and for that he designed the house with us and drew up the plans and submitted them to the council and put notice in paper etc etc. I was refused planning a few times so he had to amend the drawings several times and resubmit and he also went into the council offices on a regular basis to follow up on issues.
    When meeting with the arcitect I had not idea of what I wanted in relation to heating, insulation or anything like that.

    Once I got approved for planning the arcitects job was done and I got an engineer who basically signed off on the whole thing, but the engineer gave recommendations in relation to insulation, heating, u-values and all that good stuff. You don;t need to have any decisions made in relation to that when you are applying for planning permission - all that comes afterwards.

    For 2011 Part L compliance, you'd want to be sure you know exactly how your complying with the 60% improvement on 2005 regs and renewables obligation before you submit for planning. Its a whole new ball game now since December 01 2011
