Planning: New driveway and dish DCC

SpartanKiller

Hi
I'm putting in a new driveway in my front garden in Dublin City. I am modifying the front plint and rail and putting in a new vehicular gate. I'll need to dish the kerb.

My question is do I need to apply for 2 seperate items? ie appply for planning for a driveway and then a dish?

Thanks

Firstly you need to apply for planning permission.
This is the usual process, drawings, OSi Maps, Newspaper notice, sign in garden etc

3 month process and you’ll have to pay an architect or technician or other relevant person to prepare the drawings.

Then once you have the final grant, you apply to DCC to dish the path. They will request a copy of the final grant and payment of about €550.

it may not be relevant to you but worth noting in any case.

In case you have some sort of dishing there already, you may not need to get PP.

We had a shared side entrance with the neighbours and there was already dishing in place, we needed to dish outside our house when we put in our new driveway. The council accepted a signed affadavit that it had been in place already and this was an extension to it.

I only stumbled on this possibility per chance

The affidavit is a statement to state that the vehicular entrance has been in place for 7 years. In the OP’s case, he is creating a new entrance so this cannot work.

What area are you in? Is there pay parking on the street and is it a high demand area? No off street parking is permitted in many areas where it reduces on-street/communal parking. I’d check that out before spending any money.

If there’s pay and display bays directly outside your property the the council will condition a buy out payment in the planning. I seen one last year for €9k IIRC.

Hi everyone,

thanks for all your replies.

No there's no paid parking so that's not a proble.

There's no dish there already either.

So basically I need to apply for planning permission for the change the entrance/front of my house for parking. And then apply to get the dish done? Do I need to show the proposed new dish on the drawings or just the proposed new gate and parking?

Thanks

Your agent should be able to prepare the drawings to spec.
Remember you need 6 copies all exactly to scale and to Dept. Of Environ drawing standards.

What type of driveway are you getting done?
