Timber frame is fantastic.
Our home was completely water-proof within 3 weeks after the floor slab
was finished.

I just replaced the windows and outside doors in my 20 year house with
A rated ones. The difference is incredible, no drafts, no outside
noise, not to mention no heat loss. I am delighted.

Planning Process
The planning process is relatively complicated in Ireland in comparison
to other countries, however a brief summery is as follows
- It will take approximately 1 week for your planning
application to be validated, otherwise you must re-submit the
application again (with the necessary changes).
- Once validated, anyone can make an observation
(commonly referred to as an objection), within 5 weeks from the date
the Planning Authority received the application (excluding Bank
Holidays). The fee is at present €20.00.
- However, within the 5 weeks from the date the
Planning Authority received the application (excluding Bank Holidays),
anyone can also make representations on your behalf, supporting the
application. This can be from neibhours or as is common practice, from
Local Politicians
- After the 5 weeks have elapsed, the Planning
Authority, may seek Further Information. This may take the form of
clarification of the information submitted, a request for more details
or drawings, an amendment to the plans or some other request for
information.You generally have 6 months to supply this information.
- The Planning Authority on receipt of the Further
Information, may seek Clarification of the Further Information.
- Subject to 4 and 5 above, the Planning Authority,
will make a decision, within 8 weeks of the receipt of the Planning
Application. This may be a grant of permission (subject to conditions)
or a refusal for permission. However the Planning Authority may inform
you that they recommend a refusal and offer you a Time Extension. This
will give the opportunity to further amend the proposal during the
allocated time extension.
- After the decision, if any one objected to the
planning application they have 1 month to lodge an appeal to An Bord Peanala. (A
fee applies)
- Similarly, if you are unhappy with the decision of
the Planning Authority, or some of the conditions of the decision, you
also may appeal to An
Bord Peanala. (A fee applies)
- Subject to no appeal, as stated in 8 or 9 above, you
will receive your Final Grant of Permission, 1 month from the date of
the decision of the Planning Authority.
- Planning normally last for 5 years (there are some
exceptions)
