Hi all,
New here and not a great knowledge on planning permission laws and just wondering if someone could point me the right way.
I live in Littlepace in Clonee and bought the house 8 months ago. Most of the houses around us are rented to non nationals and in fairness it's a very quiet cul-de-sac. We live third down in a row of five houses with huge back gardens. The first two houses on our left are rented out but while walking past one of the houses today I noticed a tiny planning permission application placard in the garden stating that the owner wanted to knock the adjoining gardens and build two semi detached houses in the back gardens running right up to our back garden (sorry if it sounds confusing!!).
The notice apparently was placed on the 9th December and has a five week time limit. Obviously we have up until Friday to appeal. I phoned Fingal County Council Department but it was closed at 3.30. My arguments are that our back garden view will be totally destroyed. Our side wall to the adjoining houses is only 4 feet so we will be slap bang in full view of another house only a couple of feet away. The value of our house will definitely be adversely affected, car parking in the cul de sac is dreadful with cars all over gardens, paths and driveways, two new houses will only add to the problem. The noise and dirt for another couple of years just does'nt bear thinking about only ten feet from our back door.
Anyway, I'm calling Fingal County Council in the morning with regard to appealing. Just wondering how the process works and what, if any chance have I got of stopping this. Neighbours are all renting so they dont care and we're on our own on this.
As we have only four days now I'm really looking for some advice on this!
Cheers,
Mick.
