hi
i have been living in south county dublin all my life in my family home which sits on approx 9 acres of land. Recently i decided that i was going to try build my own home and went about getting all the info i would need. After speaking to a builder i was advised to arrange a pre planning meeting to see how the land lied with the council. After many many emails and messages left for the relivant person i got a call back this morning and am in complete shock at the answers i got. I have been told that getting permission is extremly unlikley as i dont really have a need to live there i.e i dont farm the land ( i work about 20mins away ) and because the house would be visible when people look up at the dublin mountains and the area is for everyone to admire unspoiled. I think these reasons are unnexceptable and ridiculous. Has anyone experianced or heard so such things
