Commencement Notice
A Commencement Notice is a notice informing the City Council of intent to carry out building works.
It must be submitted at least 14 days and not more than 28 days before the commencement of any works which require compliance with The Building Regulations.
Applicants should note that in some cases a Commencement Notice may apply to work not requiring Planning Permission such as a small extension to rear of house.
A Commencement Notice is required for:
- The erection of a building.
- The material alteration or extension of a building.
- A material change of use of a building to which the Building Regulations apply.
Commencement Notice Fees
Commencement Notice Fees are:
- €30
- where the proposed works or material change of use relate to more than one building, €30 per building.
Examples:
2 adjoining terraced houses are taken to be 2 buildings.
A block of apartments is taken to be one building.
The maximum fee is €3,800.
The correct fee must be submitted with the Commencement Notice, otherwise the Notice is deemed to be invalid.
