What does this mean in effect?there's a wall cutting off the middle of the garden
This is a Georgian terrace with a community garden at the back. It was always a back garden (no shed etc) and a wall (a six feet brick wall, no door) was built and the house has been empty for years. This apartment block would be higher than the existing 3 storey house (close to 12 metres in total) - will engage a planner, just hard to know who is good and who is not, and the quotes vary wildly. Just hard to find a coherent definition of an infill site, but thanks for the reply, appreciate it.What does this mean in effect?
Is there a door in the wall? Has it been used as a back garden or as something else?
I presume this is a Victorian terrace with long gardens and a lane at the back, right? I used to live near one and there had been a lot of "news" properties over the years and none had ever gone above two stories.
When I looked this up years ago the setback rules varied a bit by local authority. I think DLRCoCo allow you to build closer than DCC.
The rules in force are all online on your local authority website. They are a slog but understandable to a lay person. Have a look yourself first but for something like this a planning consultant is invaluable. You may be able to split bill with a neighbour.

Thanks for that - its not listed on landdirect, although it was just up for sale as a single plot (house plus garden); although even though there is a sold sign up, the planning application lists the previous owners as still owning the site - so really not sure who owns it or what the "sale" was about.Look up landdirect.ie and see if that parcel of land is listed in a different folio. Might be difficult claim it as an infill site if it's part of a single folio with their house.
