    Building Control is a separate department to planning.
    They don't care about planning rules or regulations. They care about the Building Regulations contained within the Technical Guidance Documents Part A to Part M.

    The onus is on the home owner to ensure compliance with these building regulations and if they need professional advice, then they engage one. You don't have to, but it's your home and somebody needs to make sure the work been done is up to scratch.

    What was the planning question that SDCC couldn't answer?

    Ok that's clearer.I will look into this once the building work actually starts.
    I asked them about a garage attached to the side of my parents house.They wanted to convert it but change the roof from flat to pitched(3.8m)It says that converting a garage attached to the side of a property is exempt as long as you meet the criteria.I asked them about the roof and they basically said they weren't really sure

    Could you elaborate???
    We have an existing extension to the rear of our property already.
    Together with the proposed extension,the internal sqm comes to 39.75 sqm

    I don't think you get two freebies sans PP, regardless of the 40.
    In addition DO check on how they measure the 40.

    I had an issue with SD years ago re how the 40 was measured after a neighbour complained.

    Not exempt unless experessly provided for in the exemption regs - so you need permision to alter the roof for whatver reason.

    Incidentally the La are not obliged to serve you like this. If they give you wrong advice - tough no comeback as they are not accountable to you me or anyone else in this way.

    You will one day have to provide an architects opinion on compliance - OR exemption to the lender of whomever may wish purchase your house. No phone call from the La will assist you then.

    Of course I can understand they don't want to be held accountable.

    We are getting planning permission for proposed extension so the 40sqm rule does not apply.Our extension to the rear is around 30sqm.If you have difficult neighbours of course theese issues can become a problem.As a means of respect I have already notified my neighbours as to my intentions.I will also have to legally but a notice of planning in public view in my garden.

    OK, my bad re the PP, however do check how they measure

    There's nothing for them to be accountable for in fairness. That's why the law puts the onus on the home owner to seek professional guidance if required.

    To be honest, sounds like a basic extension, get your planning and paperwork in order shouldn't be too much hassle tbh.

    Leaving out professional fees here are some of the costs:

    Newspaper ad: €150 to €320 (Southside/Northside people and Evening Herald ad costs)
    OSi Planning pack: €62
    Council Application fees-based on Square meters in the build-you pay this as its your application.
    All Drawings including site location map: Varies between €350 to €600 depending on the complexity.

    Then you throw in the time involved in preparation of the application ans the expertise of the professional I would say you are doing well at 1200.
