Did you know that if Council paid parking is introduced to your street then you could be permanently precluded from ever having parking in your front garden? Whereas, if you apply and receive permission for parking in your garden now you'd be entitled to your parking space permanently.
So don't delay and apply now!
Front Garden Parking
Do you have a front garden that could accommodate a carparking space but just needs a vehicular entrance?
Such scenarios require planning permission.
Contact us today to see if this is possible and/or to see how much it might cost to do so.
When do I need permission?
Planning permission is always required in Ireland to create a new vehicular entrance at a property.
Do I need planning permission to widen an existing entrance?
Yes.
How do I know if the Planning Authority will give permission?
The answer to this is difficult to define and largely subject to the context of the particular street.
If there are a number of permissions granted for similar developments in the area then there is a good chance that the Planning Authority will similar grant permission for driveway entrance.
However, localities which are in architectural conservation areas might not be suitable for new vehicular entrances.
What is footpath dishing and how do I arrange for its installation?
Footpath dishing is when the footpath is altered (sloped) to allow a vehicle cross into a property.
The process varies depending under which Local Authority the site lies.
The Planning Authority will only permit the work after planning permission has been granted.
