Hi Lar,

I don’t post on this site very often but your question has interested me. I have recently subitted planning for a similar project to yours but in Swords. A positive reponse was received from the planners. I would suggest you meet with the planners to discuss the specific problems or issues they have. Check the development plan for your area and see if devlopment such as this is encouraged or not. Most of the local authorites in Dublin are keen to see development in esablished areas where this does not adversley affect the areas concerned. It makes good use of the existing infrastructure and serivces. If a two storey five bed house is out of the question allow for future development of an extra bedroom in the roof space keeping in mind fire escape issues and location of stairs etc.

Best of luck,

P
