I have to laugh at some people here who take the time to criticise other posters!
Bronte, I did mention, if you read my first post, that the diagram looked fine while editing but it screwed up when it posted.
Nobody seems to have a direct answer to the 2 meter boundary separation question. I thought this forum would be a useful place to find out such info, be given a lead on where to find out, or get peoples prior experiences.
Ignoring the general rants...
On the 2 meter rule: 2 meter means 2 meters to the boundary for any structure, if you e.g. have a gutter that will be closer than 2 meters, even if the above ground floor extension wall (outside of the wall that is) is further away than 2 meters, you will need planning permission.
If you want to put a window into the wall, you can't be closer then 11 meters to the boundary it faces to stay planning exempt.
Dormer window construction, even if it is on the back of the house, seems to require planning permission as well, whereby a velux-type roof window to the back of the house wouldn't.
Here's an FAQ from Dublin City Council, other councils might have slightly different rules, but the 2 meter rule seems to be widepsread.

Generally speaking, if you go to the side or front of the house, or above ground floor, you are pretty much "guaranteed" to required PP.
