If a garage is on PRAI/OS maps does it imply that PP was obtained for it

    Probably a silly question but here goes. If I find my property on the below linked maps, the detached garage (~20 sq metres floor area) is mapped whereas some of the neighbours' detached garages are not mapped.

    http://map.geohive.ie/mapviewer.html

    Does this imply that my garage has planning permission while the neighbours' garages don't have PP/were exempt etc.

    The reason I ask is I'm thinking of getting a garden shed and want to know if the shed planning exemption has already been used by the garage. I don't have the planning docs and they are not online on the Coco website. I presume I can still obtain them but if the online maps can be relied on then maybe I don't have to.

    Very simply....no.

    If planning permission was the prerequisite, then nothing would appear on maps prior to 1963!

    Balls, you're right. Good point and logic :)

    Perhaps there is still some significance (not planning related) to some structures appearing on the maps while other similar structures (built around the same time and well after 1963) do not. But I can't assume anything.

    Thanks

    The reason you see almost every building on modern maps is that the data comes from satellite photographs. Historically a man with surveying equipment had to visit an area before anything was updated that didn't occur very often so there would have be decades between updates.

    I've a large mobile chicken shed in the garden and its on the latest osi online maps even though it gets moved around :) Static caravan win no PP is also on the map.

    That's the best thing to do! As one of my school teachers used to say, to assume, is to make an ass out of u and me....:)
