Dublin City Council has approved plans for a mixed-use development at the corner of South Circular Road and Dolphin’s Barn Street in Dublin 8. The project aims to transform the site by replacing derelict buildings with a part two-storey to part eight-storey scheme, designated for social and affordable housing.

Plans have been submitted for a new apartment/hostel development near Chancery Street in Dublin 7. Bordered by a Dublin City Council car park to the north and Chancery Street to the south, the site is set to be transformed into a residential and tourist facility.

Construction has commenced on an expansive residential project by Debussy Properties Limited, located at the intersection of Millicent Road and Prosperous Road in Clane, Co. Kildare. Approved by Kildare County Council in March 2024, the development will offer a diverse mix of housing options, complemented by high-quality amenities and a crèche facility.

Whitechurch Road, Rathfarnham. Ideally located in the heart of Rathfarnham, the proposed scheme will be a great addition to the already thriving local community.

Kildare County Council has granted planning permission with conditions for a new residential development on Dublin Road, Celbridge. The approved plans involve the demolition of the former Retronix semiconductor factory to pave the way for a 44-unit residential scheme.

The approved development will involve the demolition of all existing structures on the site, including three single-storey dwellings and their associated outbuildings, to make way for over 500 residential dwellings and several non-residential uses.

A daylight and sunlight assessment is a technical analysis that is prerequisite in many planning applications. Assessments evaluate the potential impact a proposed development might have on surrounding existing properties and the environment.

Ten years have passed, and our team decided to experiment with this particular project to see if the changes to workflows, methodologies and skillsets would make a difference to the final architectural renders.

A daylight and sunlight assessment is a critical component of any planning application. Whether your development is in the early stages of design, or already well advanced towards a full planning submission, it’s essential to give close attention to this type of environmental assessment to assist in a positive outcome of your planning application.

Whether you are part of the AEC industry or not, this guide, prepared by our team of experts, will help you navigate the planning system with confidence, providing valuable information on each stage and outlining projected timeframes for submitting an application

The final stage of the planning application process is not necessarily the swiftest or simplest. Different outcomes can unfold, depending on the local authority’s view of the proposed scheme and how it has been presented.

Following the pre-application process and possible public consultation period, the design team will gear up for the full planning submission.
