From appraising a site to managing a large-scale application, and making submissions and appeals where a proposal falls short.
Managing applications from pre-planning to grant, including large-scale residential and mixed-use schemes.

Read more →We manage planning applications from the first pre-planning conversation through to a grant of permission, and on to compliance and commencement. Our focus is large-scale residential and mixed-use development, where strategy and coordination make the difference between a clean grant and a refusal.
Before you commit, a clear read on what a site can deliver. We combine a planning consultant's grasp of policy with a developer's view of viability, so the appraisal reflects what will be built rather than what policy might permit.
We are actively involved in the development of property, and coordinate scheme design with a roster of selected architectural practices and specialist consultants. The result is well-considered schemes that respect their context and stand the best chance in planning.
The four headings above describe how we work. These are the jobs people actually ring about, in the words they use.
Full planning, outline, permission consequent on outline, retention, and applications for a change of use. Pre-planning meetings under section 247 of the 2000 Act and, once commenced, section 89 of the 2024 Act. Large-scale residential development (LRD) and mixed-use schemes.
Extension of duration under section 42 while it remains available, and the alteration and extension routes in sections 138 to 146 of the 2024 Act once Part 4 commences. Compliance submissions and condition discharge.
Whether a proposal is development, and whether it is exempted development, including the July 2026 residential exemptions and the notification they require. Referrals to An Coimisiún Pleanála where a declaration is contested.
Third-party submissions to the planning authority, first- and third-party appeals to An Coimisiún Pleanála, responses to appeals, and oral hearings. How we approach them →
Rural housing need under the county development plan, site appraisal before you buy, and pre-planning submissions for one-off houses in Limerick, Clare and Tipperary.
Submissions on draft development plans, local area plans and variations. Zoning requests. Residential Zoned Land Tax map submissions and challenges within the annual window.
Development contribution checks and appeals to An Coimisiún Pleanála where a contribution has been wrongly applied, and advice on exemptions and reductions.
Environmental impact assessment screening and appropriate assessment screening reports, and coordination of the specialist consultants where a full EIAR or NIS is needed.
Advice on warning letters and enforcement notices, regularising unauthorised development, and the time limits that apply.
Tell us what you're considering and we'll set out the planning position and the realistic options.
