racso said:I was lucky enough to be able to build my own home due to the fact that the wife is originally from the area and we are located about 1 1/2 miles from the village which is very small (there may be in-breeding not sure) but my problem is that they gave planning permission for 68 new houses in the heart of the village itself.
Now when i say there are no amenities i really mean that i.e. the shop owner is also the publician, local estate agent, undertaker and petrol station owner and all out of the one unit!!! If we take on average that each house will have 2 cars and 2 children thats an extra 136 cars in the village that it cant take(except for boss hog who owns the garage) due to roads.
An extra 136 children that are coming to a village with nothing for them except a GAA club and an already very small overstreached local school. Where is the long term planning in that??? Yes convienient for the postman, telephone and electricity guys...but will be an utter disastor for everybody else including the newbies.

I sympathise with your predicament as the same thing seems to be happening all over the place ... with small villages at the mercy of property developers. Can I ask did you oppose these houses at the planning stage?
What evidence can you offer to support your claim that "small villages at the mercy of property developers"?Henny Penny said:Hi Rasco
