PP is judged soley on the suitability of the building, not on who is proposing to live there or who is applying for the PP.
Reasons include:
1. Buildings generally last longer than people.
2. At PP stage, you cant say how long someone is going to live in a building - could sell up shortly after built due to change in circumstances or even personal choice.
All this means that no matter who applies for the PP, it will be judged on the merit of the proposed development and whether it is in accordance with the Local Authority Development Plan for the area.
can you explain this post please? local needs do apply in certain counties where planning permission does in part rely on the suitability of the person applying for the planning permission (whether or not this is ethical is another issue).
There are a number of LA who have adopted "locals only" stances in recent years for certain types of PP. But this is illegal and will get overturned on appeal to An Bord Pleanala..
I am aware of a case currently before an bord pleanala where the grounds of the appeal, are based on the illegality of the "local housing need provisions", of the local development plan.
I'm not so sure that the outcome of this appeal is as cut and dry as some other contributors are suggesting but its certainly a strong case.
