Where they are
Source: Commencement and completion notices (National Building Control Office), checked 15 Oct 2026. Each row links to the record it came from.
What this means for a buyer
Every building job lodges a commencement notice on the Building Control Management System before it starts, and new homes need a completion certificate on the register before they can be occupied (Building Control Regulations, as amended in 2014). A scheme with no completion long after its planned finish may have run out of money or stalled on a dispute. Its owner or lender may take an offer. Some are only slow or phased, so check the site.
Who holds these permissions: developers in Westmeath

Questions people ask
What is a commencement notice?
The notice lodged on the Building Control Management System 14 to 28 days before works start. It is the public record that a permission was acted on.
What is a completion certificate?
The certificate of compliance on completion, which must be on the building control register before new homes can be occupied.
Does stalled mean abandoned?
Not always. Phased schemes, small jobs and missing paperwork also show up. The start date and the planned finish on each row help tell them apart.
Where does this list come from?
From the National Building Control Office's open data on commencement notices and completion certificates, matched to planning permissions.
