Planning application received: Alterations to existing roof including the proposed build-up of hip with new window in gable wall and the proposed conve

A planning application has been submitted to South Dublin County Council for alterations to a residential property in Rathfarnham, Dublin 16.

The proposal involves modifications to the existing roof structure at 5 Grangebrook Close, including a build-up of the hip and the insertion of a new window in the gable wall. The application also seeks permission for the conversion of the attic space, which would feature a dormer roof window positioned to the rear of the property. All associated site works required to complete the project are included within the scope of the application.

The scheme represents a typical residential extension project aimed at maximising the usable space within the existing building envelope. Such roof and attic conversions are common in established residential areas across South Dublin as homeowners seek to expand their living accommodation without significantly altering the footprint of their homes.

The council will now assess the application against development plan policies, building regulations, and any submissions received from neighbours and interested parties during the statutory consultation period.

More information is available from the South Dublin County Council Planning portal.
