Basements can affect the environment and nearby structures in a number of ways. The impacts of such development on the geological, hydrological and hydrogeological environment are of concern to DCC and the occupants/owners of neighbouring properties.
With these potential impacts in mind DCC’s approach to dealing with basement applications has evolved since the adoption of the most recent Development Plan. This has resulted in the development of a policy in relation to basement development and also a guidance document in relation to same.
For proposed developments which include a basement, a basement impact assessment (BIA) is now required to be submitted by the applicant as part of the planning application so that the E&T Department is provided with the information necessary to adequately assist the planning authority.

A multi-party framework agreement to audit basement impact assessment (BIA) submissions is to be established by Dublin City Council (DCC). The framework is to have a duration of 2 years with the option of 2 x 1-year extensions. There is to be a maximum of 5 No parties placed on the framework. An audit of BIA submissions is to be requested from the parties on the framework based on a cascade type framework agreement i.e.
— tenderers are to be ranked based on their submission,
— tenderer ranked as No 1 will have first option on all business for the first 2 years of the framework agreement,
— if tenderer No 1 is unable to meet the requirements to complete the audit, the 2 ranked tenderer is consulted and so forth.
