The planning has lapsed on the site, therefore you'll need a new application. Extensions to the duration of planning permissions can only be granted while the original permission is still live. Bear in mind also that with any new permission you'll also face any changes to planning policy in the area, and be subject to current development levies, and that considerable changes could have taken place since planning was granted (7 years ago?)

Thanx for info do u think that the fact planning was giving already and with a very similar design if not exactly they same house except to make sure it complies with any new regs or changes do u tink that chances with new application would be good? Would appreciate any advice on this kind o lost at min

As always with planning there's no guarantees. One approach might be to seek a pre planning meeting with the Planner and discuss the issues. They will highlight any possible hurdles for you, and also note any changes to policy in the intervening time. When planning was granted previously, it means that there were no impediments to doing so, and the previous grant is certainly a positive, but I'd take it step by step. Why was it so difficult to get planning granted in the first place ?

The area that the site is on in the development plan as an area of high landscape and an taisce kept objecting. but there are a gud 4 or 5 houses built in this area alread

A new application will open you to new objections - it's part of the process. I guess your only advantage is that An Taisce will already have outlined its objections to the development, and you will have an opportunity to address these in any revised application. Pre planning is definitely the way to go in light of this. With other dwellings already granted permission in the area, there is always the possibility that an Taisce won't object again. Do your research before committing to any application. If you intend to have an agent lodge an application for you have them check the development plan prior to any pre planning meeting in order to ensure that issues like sight-lines, effluent treatment, surface water disposal etc. are addressed before meeting the planner. Address the previous objections also. The Planning Department gave you planning once, so the only unknown at present is any new grounds for objection, or changes to the Development Plan / Planning Policy in your area.
