Every county has different rules. They usually have guidelines and standards and a rural house design guide, youd get this from the council site, or if you had an Architect theyâd tell you what will be acceptable or not.
Pre planning would just confirm if the site you were looking at would be okay although it would need to satisfy rules and theyâd guide you to what is acceptable.
They normally say; traditional at the front but do want you like at the back - the, do what you want is still inhibited by the design guide, and size but there is ways around it.
Itâs a fuck up really.
Each county have stupid designs that some prick thinks looks great at the time. You might look at a house and say thatâs what I like but it was built 15 years ago and the rules and designs changed cos some crack pot wanted to get back to nature or history and changes the designs.
As long as youâre road frontage and design âwithinâ the rules youâll be grand.
Iâve heard more than once but Iâm not convinced itâs true , but if you get a bit of land from the family, get a herd number, buy a few animals and tell them itâs your primary source of income.
Pretty much the above.
I then told the planning engineer to say Iâd build whatever they wanted wherever they wanted. âit doesnât work like thatâ
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
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
