Hi all
Could anyone give advise on our situation, My wife & I have a plot of land given to us by my father-in-law.
Our plan was to build on it in the next year, but I went to a pre planning meeting to find out that according to the Kildare CCs we do not meet their "Local Need Criteria", which states that you must have come from a rural background.
We are both from Kildare, our parents all live in Kildare, but in local towns. My father in law (who is retired) has a few of acres on which he keeps cattle & has done that for the last 35 or so years, but does not have a farm yard to work from.
There in lies the problem, they say that we would not get planning, but maybe my father-in-law might.
What do we do? Do we try under our own steam or get my wife's father to apply???
Are there any special circumstances that they will allow planning?
Has anyone been in the same situation?
Thanks in advance
Tayto
