Planning Permissions for One Off Houses in Ireland

The large majority of people believe that the construction industry is saturated. That there is no work out there for anybody. This is not true. Link2Plans is a construction information website that provides detailed information on every construction project about to commence in Ireland. Since June this year 1,159 people applied for planning permission  to build new homes. 


Link2Plans source their information from the local authorities beside you. When someone wants to begin site work they must hand a commencement notice into the county council. When they do, link2plans collect that data and upload it to their website giving you access to contact details of the applicant, the site address and in most cases the actual plans of the build. Its that simple.

Application Types


There are 3 categories of Construction Applications, these include:
  1. Applied Applications
  2. Granted Applications
  3. Commenced Applications
Under each of these categories on the website, there are various other filters to help you minimise your search to find applications that are most relevant to your business.

  1. Location Filter allows you to select counties that you are most interested in. For example you would select Dublin if your company is based there. 
  2. Project Type Filter allows you to filter your search in relation to Self Build Houses, Self Build Extensions, Commercial/ Industrial Builds or Residential Developments
  3. Feature filter involves looking at particular features of the build. For instance, you could search for projects that have PVC windows, natural stone or any other attributes relevant to your business.
