Tá na cásanna díolmhaithe maidir le cúrsaí pleanála leagtha amach faoi láthair sna Rialacháin um Pleanáil agus Forbairt, 2001 arna leasú agus sna Rialacháin um Pleanáil agus Forbairt (Forbairt Dhíolmhaithe (Acht na bliana 2000)), 2026 a tháinig i bhfeidhm an 27 Iúil 2026.
Tá treoir phraiticiúil curtha le chéile ag Oifig an Rialálaí Pleanála maidir leis an gcineál oibre is féidir a dhéanamh timpeall an tí gan gá cead pleanála a iarraidh. Tá bileog na hOifige sin faoi Obair a dhéanamh Timpeall an Tí ar fáil anseo.
* Tugtar chun aire nach bhfuil athruithe a eascraíonn ón Acht um Pleanáil agus Forbairt, 2024 ná na Rialacháin um Pleanáil agus Forbairt, 2026 (le teacht) tugtha san áireamh le hábhar na bileoige seo.
Cé go bhfuil forbairt dhíolmhaithe de chineálacha áirithe is féidir a chur i gcrích gan dul i gcomhairle leis an údarás áitiúil, tá cineálacha sonraithe ar gá fógra foirmeálta a thabhairt ina leith roimh ré. I gcás aon fhorbairt a dhéantar maidir le hAicme 1A (foroinnt) nó le hAicme 3A (Teaghais Chúnta Scoite), beidh gá fógra a thabhairt don Údarás Pleanála ar a laghad 14 lá sula mbeadh an fhorbairt le tarlú. Tá dlite ar na hÚdaráis Áitiúla tuairisc a thabhairt don Aire Tithíochta, Rialtais Áitiúil agus Oidhreachta maidir le forbairt den sórt sin.
