No, Ireland has a problem with broken planning regulations.
Allowing everybody to object and stall the development of everything for years, too much power given to county councils, not transparent and uniform regulation, extortion-like planning permission contributions, local needs requirement… and the list go on.

It has a problem with granting it

Ireland has 2 problems with current planning permission:
1) Objectors can object multiple times in the same process.
2) Objectors don’t need to have tangible links with the planning to object, I.e. next door neighbours

No problem, just need to act tough on idiots who ignore the law/plans.
Government, you are also included in that statement

i think part of the problem is that you need planning permission to things in most other countries you wouldn’t
if you want solar panel over a certain wattage you need planning permission , or if you want to do up an old shed and turn it a granny flat you need planning permission for that or depening on how you want to convert a loft you need a planning permission for that
or god forbid you want external insulation
or want to paint your house an unsusal colour

Im gona say yes, we do… but the whole weekend since the newstalk interview with the Murrays shows we haven’t a clue why a building can’t just be plonked anywhere.

No. If you look at Spain, they’ve had a massive problem in the past with this. And the culture of allowing it actually encouraged people to build first, ask later. Caused a lot of problems in many areas. It’s good to see that here they don’t bow down to blatant breaches and the outright contempt of builds like this one in Meath. Although a bit ridiculous that it took so long

It’s too late for planning control in Ireland. Too late. There’s been an utter failure to properly protect green belt in any way, and everyone and their uncle has abused “rural need” clauses to throw up more and more one off houses out in the countryside, which of course all somehow expect Services out to them, and then start talking shite about rip off Ireland because of the costs they’ve incurred by largely not living economically together with grouped services. I’m not even talking high density housing, just some basic hardline protection of green belt. Like I say, too late.

Go see what Carolyn Brennan – 243 Phibsboro Road, Dublin 7 did.
Work was done to change the attic (wrap around dormer).
DCC arrived mid works and told them to stop….but they didn’t.
She’s applied for retention multiple times and had rightly been refused.
In this case ….she was granted planning in 2015 but went off and did more than what was granted.
She’s been told to restore the roof at the front to what it originally was.
Based on the outcome of the Meath case….she hasn’t a leg to stand on and has no choice but to restore it.
Do we have an issue with people ignoring planning…..yes.

No mention of a housing crisis here,it’s all pesky builders making cowboy homes.
*You are why there is a housing crisis. You.*

We have bigger issues with granting it.
SugarforurProlapse on
No, no we don’t.
We have a housing crisis. As far as I’m concerned that supersedes planning permission.

Whether we do or not, we’ve a far bigger problem at the moment with planning permission being blocked.

I do design work all over the country. Planning is easy the more rural the scheme. Anything in the cities is a massive pain. It seems like it should be the other way round.

Tbh, if I lived rurally and was capable of doing the construction myself I would build whatever tf I want on my land. I don’t give a fuck about planning permission.
