    Hi all.

    I got plans made up 2 years ago for a site in Rush co Dublin. It was for a massive Dormer house, it's lovely, but in reality I am never going to be able to afford to build something like that on my own (wouldn't get a big enough mortgage for it).
    So I'm thinking, can I change the plans to a bungalow instead? Would Fingal CoCo be difficult about reducing the size?

    There are 3 Dormers beside my site that all look similar but there are hundreds of bungalows in the area so I don't see why it would be a problem, but it is Fingal CoCo who can be very difficult at times with planning in the area.

    Would I be reapplying for planning or would it just be updating the plans?

    It would vastly up the chances of me building my own home.

    Thanks for any advice and input.

    Speak to a local arch - they can approach the planners and see which route would be favored.
