Dublin City Council has issued approximately 300 warning letters this year as the initial planning enforcement step against property owners listing on platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com. Since the short-term letting legislation began in July 2019, 1,996 cases have been resolved and closed after compliance with enforcement requirements. Property owners seeking retention through planning applications face difficulty because the Dublin City Development Plan presumes against dedicated short-term tourist rental accommodation to protect housing stock. Dublin Castle Suites (Olympia Real Estate Limited) received a warning and had its retention application for ten apartments refused. Bébinn Limited trading as Shortstays has a retention application pending for six en-suite bedrooms on Benburb Street.
In a clampdown against those property owners placing their properties on platforms such as Airbnb and Booking.com, the council has confirmed that it has issued to date this year the approximate 300 warning letters which is the first step planning authorities take in planning enforcement actions.
To date since the initiation of the short-Term letting legislation in July 2019, a successful resolution has been achieved in respect of 1,996 cases, these cases have been resolved and closed following the commencement of and compliance with enforcement requirements.
The firm got the warning in March and earlier this month, Dublin City Council refused the firm's planning application for the planning retention to continue the short-term rental use of its 10 apartments facing onto Parliament Street and Dame Street and close to Dublin Castle and Temple Bar.
