Guidelines for applying for an Extension of Duration of Permission.

• An application form for Extension of Duration of Permission is available below.
• A statutory fee of €62 is payable (Standard fee for all applications).
• Applications should be made, not earlier than the last year of the life of the permission (but before it expires).
• You may apply on (1) Substantially Complete or (2) Commercial, Economic or Technical grounds, where little or no works have been carried out.
• A Further Extension of Duration may be made if the first was obtained prior to the introduction of the current legislation and if the Further Extension is applied for before the extended permission expires (Please note this is only possible for an application for 20 residential units or more).
• Applicants should note that the Planning Authority will make a decision as expeditiously as possible and will give notice of its decision within 8 weeks. However, should Further Information or Clarification of Further Information be first required, it is most important that your response must be received within 4 weeks of such requirement. The Planning Authority shall not extend the Application if this requirement is not adhered.
