    we were looking at this site which is subject to planning permission.
    We are new to this game and don't have much of a clue about applying for p permission.
    How does it work in this situation?
    Do you buy with the hope of getting permission or can you suss out the liklihood of getting p permission first?

    There's a couple of things you can do but whatever you decide DONT buy until you have planning permission. The site is being offered for sale subject to you or someone else getting PP so that sort of speaks for itself.

    You can get a pre-planning meeting arranged which is where you and/or your agent will meet the planner before submitting an application and any potential problems can be ironed out. This type of meeting while official is pretty much informal and is geared towards giving you the Council's view on your proposal.

    With or without a pre-planning meeting you can apply for either outline or full planning permission. You will have to engage a professional (architectural technician/architect/engineer) at this point and they will prepare all the plans, maps, site tests, surveys etc for you.

    If you and/or your "agent" thought there could be problems with getting permission then its always advisable to apply for outline PP first as this avoids the need to submit house plans which can set you back a wee bit. The outline permission is basically permission to build some type of house on the site or a better way or putting it would be to say that the site has been passed for building. If you get the outline PP then you have 3 years to submit your application for the full permission ("permission consequent" as it's officially known)

    Bottom line is that you should get a local architectural technician/architect on board who will keep you right. You can look for recommendations here if you wish.

    Thread moved to C & P forum.

    you put down a deposit with the sellers vendor, on condition that they get paid when you get planning.

    In my biased opinion seek an architects advice at this stage as they will advise on house design/ planning permission (& housing need etc). some unscrupulous auctioneers are wasting peoples time, as they will never get planning on certain zoned sites. (I'm talking about land zoning particularly in the hinterland of urban areas)

    you've got to ask yourself a few questions at this stage relating to planning & sustainable development (the latter is often ignored in Ireland)
    • Have I lived in the immediate area for 7 or more years?
    • Do I own house already/ why do I need to build on green field?
    • Will i have to get into a car for a pint of milk, pint, kids to school or work?
