Contact Planning Permission Ireland

The fastest way to reach us is through a community channel. Pick whichever fits the query below.

Community channels

Our Facebook community is the busiest — questions there typically get responses from other self-builders and renovators who’ve been through similar projects in Ireland.

Sourceable answers from other self-builders

For pre-application questions on specific sites, the Planify search pulls together historical planning decisions, appeals, and policy references for a given address.

What we can help with

• Corrections to a published guide (typo, broken link, outdated policy reference, missing county).
• Suggestions for new topics or for expanding an existing brief, particularly around the self-build lifecycle.
• Collaboration enquiries from local authorities, professional bodies, or independent writers with planning-relevant expertise in Ireland.

What we can’t help with

• Specific project advice. We don’t act as an architect, planning agent, or solicitor, and we can’t tell you whether your particular extension will get permission.
• Filling in forms on your behalf. The submission process is your local authority’s, not ours.
• Status updates on applications we’ve had no part in.

For case-specific advice, talk to an RIAI-registered architect or a planning consultant familiar with your local authority area.

Press and partnerships

For media enquiries, partnership proposals, or syndication questions, please use the community channel marked "press" rather than flooding the main group.
