Common questions about Trim planning

Do I need planning permission in Trim?

The rules are national, so the same exemptions apply in Trim as everywhere else. Many small projects, such as some single-storey rear extensions, are exempt under S.I. 600/2001. Meath County Council decides applications here, and a site in a protected area or a protected structure has fewer exemptions.

Who decides planning applications in Trim?

Meath County Council is the planning authority for Trim. It must decide within eight weeks of a valid application, unless it asks for further information.

How many planning applications are granted in Trim?

94 in 100 decided applications in Trim were granted over the last 5 years, from 160 decisions.
