The process should be a lot more transparent and it shouldn't take a change in staff or a word with a local politician to get approval.
"It's all about who you know" applies to planning permission more than anything else IMO. The process should be a lot more transparent and it shouldn't take a change in staff or a word with a local politician to get approval. Is it any wonder we have had such bad planning decisions in the recent past?
I wonder if anyone from Revenue is cross-checking the plumber's tax returns as we speak?I don't. They got refused for planning. They then built a house twice the size of the initial refusal.
That house must have cost at least €600K to build. Seeing as the couple did not have planning permission I cannot see how they got a mortgage. So, on that basis, that's €650K in cash they had lying about. Did they think that they didn't need to conform to the rules like the rest of us who have to borrow from the bank and satisfy the planners conditions?

I think the title of this thread is misleading and should be 'Court orders demolition of illegally built structure which happens to house an idiot who shows complete comtempt of the planning process but thought he could get away with it, and his family'
