Planning applications

Except in co Galway, where it’s too small then too big then too plain then not plane enough
They are absolutely impossible to deal with.

I qualified as an accountant years ago. I know loads of better accountants than me that never got their finals.

There is a way of answering questions.

This was using a planning consultant.

I’ve heard more than once but I’m not convinced it’s true , but if you get a bit of land from the family, get a herd number, buy a few animals and tell them it’s your primary source of income.

Fucksake flatty I told you a year ago to use a brown envelope

I would drive over there and give a fcuking bagful if I could. Honestly.

What was said at the pre planning?

Someone is doing something wrong.

Pretty much the above.
I then told the planning engineer to say I’d build whatever they wanted wherever they wanted. “it doesn’t work like that”

I was flicking around the TV the other night and there was some show on with Sarah Beeney and she was trying to get planning to build a big fuck off house in the English countryside.

She had to submit the plans anyway and give a bit of a presentation on it to the local council in a public meeting. The council members then gave their comments on it and asked questions etc and the planning was decided by a vote

I don’t know what to do tbh

Once approved at that meeting then that’s it, planning is got and no appeal. Makes for some wonderful corruption.

No and… Just thought it was interesting how different the process was… There would never be a planning application declined in this country if we had that system

In fairness, I wouldn’t let you build a monstrosity up in Tonabrocky either.

It’d blend right in

anyone ever make a submission to bord planeala?

theyre trying to push a monstrosity on the seafront here in DL and it will block the early morning sunlight in my east garden
