Planning applications are also available to view at our Planning Counter, Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8.
Please be advised there are statutory procedures, which Dublin City Council is required to follow. This means that planning documentation cannot be published until these procedures have been completed.

How to Search for a Planning Application Online
You can search online for planning applications and decisions by using any of the following criteria: planning reference number, location, proposal description, name and date.
Use a planning reference
Enter all or part of a planning reference. When entering part of a reference use an asterisk* to replace the unknown section. For example, to search for a code starting 02 enter 02* in the 'planning reference' field.
Use a location reference
Search using one word or a combination words from the location. Avoid using apostrophes or comma’s as results will not be returned.
Use a name
To search for applications under the surname 'Regan', for instance, enter *Regan (asterisk followed by the surname) in the name field.
Use a proposal description
Enter any word, for example 'Oak', into the 'location/proposal' search field, to search for applications where that text appears in either the 'address' or 'long proposal description'.
Use a date range
To search for applications within a specified date range enter the appropriate dates in the 'from' and 'to' fields. To search for all applications regardless of date leave the date fields blank.
How to Create your own list of planning applications
Select the area for which you want to generate the weekly list and then insert the start and end date in the registration fields to list applications received during a particular week. To generate a decisions list simply insert the date range in the decisions fields. You do not have to confine your list to any particular week as the system will generate a list for any time frame you request.
