Our local Green Party member is looking for....

Aquos76

Planning Permission to replace a roof and build an extension on to his property at 169 Viewmount.

He has his planning notice in this weeks News & Star page 68,using his wife's name.

Please form an orderly queue and strictly only one objection per person:D

Mossy Monk

The whole of Waterford should object. No surprise that he wont use his own name.

decies

e-mail this link to all your friends in waterford.
I already have contacted some high rollers in the city expect this will be in many peoples inbox by late afternoon tomorrow .
Good luck every body best 20 euro anybody could spend :-)

galwayrush

Sounds like poetic justice.:D

Our man in Havana

At the very least it will delay him up to a year whilst the city council deal with the objections.

merlante

Aw lads, did I dream this? Have to get me a piece of this.

Lads in all seriousness, I think a roof replacement would be totally out of character with the area, and would not do justice to the historic setting of what is the oldest estate on the Dunmore rd. An extension to the house would be completely out of scale and would severely reduce light levels for neighbouring residents.

I believe that Mr. McCann's house IS suitable for development, but that this plan is totally unsuitable and completely unsustainable.

A missed opportunity.

post of the year, pure class:D

Absolutely Agree.... it would be totally out of caracter with the surrounding environment

And builders will cause danger to local children ...not t o mention the extra traffic that will be needed to carry out this work....detrimental to the environs !

Waterford says NO !

mike65

I'll drive over and have a look tomorrow to see if the proposal passes muster (okay I never go into Viewmount but thats not the point is it Mr McCann?)

Mike.

decies

your orginally from galway arent you mike so you must have a view on this and how this roof would have a detriment effect on the city
E-mail all of these people and let them know your feelings on this matter http://www.waterfordcity.ie/council/councillors.htm

Our man in Havana

What is the actual name used? I can't find anything yet on Waterford City Council's planning enquiry website. Doesn't seem like anything has been lodged at city hall yet. Hold yer horses lads.

mike65

decies I've blown in from a lot futhur than Galway. I should stay well clear of 169 Viewmount lest he shout "800 years" at me!

Mike.

longshanks

yeah i had a look myself and couldn't find anything

deisemum

It's my birthday today, well since midnight. This news has just made my birthday

I live in Viewmount and will take a walk round to his house in the morning to check out his planning notice.

I'm originally from Galway but my views are much different to those of the tree hugger.

robtri

Normally you put the notice in the paper before you apply for planning permission and then you include the notice from the paper showing date with the application to the planning office.

Lucy Locket

Has it been confirmed that the application is lodged, I had a check this morning in the paper and not seen it.....so great if it is an application, I don't live in viewmount but I still feel that this was have detrimental affect to the view of my house, and blocking light....

Mossy Monk

I too have fears about the well being of the area is such an application was to be approved.

Your spot on. It should appear online within the next week or so.

garp

He has...Sorry that should be; she has two weeks to lodge the planning permission from the date of the paper. You then have six weeks to put in an objection to it; you must pay a fee of aprox €25.

merlante

Lads, I see we have a few concerned residents in Viewmount on here. Nobody knows how this development could affect your lives. Human beings need light to survive -- it's a scientific fact -- and McCann wants to take that away. The sight of builders coming to and from the site may cause distress to small, middle class children as well, and your dogs and cats would be distressed by the noise. I think this is the thin end of the wedge for Waterford. If we let this through, there's no telling what developments McCann will attempt to build in the future.

I think we need to form a group of concerned residents WBASOCD: Waterford Boards.ie Alliance for Sustainable Outer City Development.

Now you might be on to something there

mike65

I suggest fielding a candidate in that ward at the next local elections.

Mike.

decies

Our group shall be called BASTARD Boards Against Serial Teachers Against Regional Development.
Nominations to join BASTARD begin here.

One at a time please

Our man in Havana

I hear that the Gardaí have drafted in reinforcements for crowd control outside city hall for the 6 week objection period.

pseudo-tech

For clarity, you have five weeks to lodge a submission on a planning application including the date it was lodged. The fee involved is €20 and you need to state the planning reference number, your details and what your CONCERNS are??

Our man in Havana

It shall be done. Be it be 5 or 6 weeks I am sure the objectors will have their objections in within the time limit.

paddy1mac

I'm a self employed QS and price work for a number of local builders and can assure you that i would have strong reservations about pricing this one - recession or no recession and am pretty sure that most local builders wont touch it with a barge pole!

delly

Lads, as a non-Waterforder, whats the craic here, whats with all the hostility? I presume i'm missing out on some local hot gossip?

Our local green party candidate is named Brendan McCann, he has been on a one man crusade to interfere with practially any and all planning applications by developers in Waterford.
Most people here would agree that he personally has held up developement in Waterford by a number of Years by incessantly objecting to planning proposals and taking decisions to an board pleannala. With the result that large sorely needed developements all over Waterford will probably not now go ahead as the economic downturn has changed the opportunities that had existed.

Fajitas!

Where's that video gone again?

delly

I see. Reminds me of those people who held up M50 for so long, who didn't even live near the city.

KingLoser

Lads, seriously, think of the effect this is going to have on the traffic!

That was brilliant and so true on so many levels.

I took a trip out by Mr McCanns house today...and By golly you'll never guess what i've seen........

i seen...wait for it... I seen a natterjack toad hopping around in his garden...i also seen a grey partridge fly into his back garden and it had a rough poppy in its mouth....now... correct me if i'm wrong ..but these are all endangered/protected species in this country

I believe the EPA should carryout a thorough survey/study of this area ....any building works could destroy any habitat these creatures have established here.

galwayrush

Excellent Video, very funny.:D:D

Good man funny yet still plausible :pac:

bumping.

So what exactly is the procedure for putting in a planning objection?

Our man in Havana

For a start we need to wait until he formally lodges the application. He hasn't yet.

KingLoser

Here ye go:

Unfortunately it looks like a fairly straight forward application. Most delay you could hope for is 4/5 months with an bord pleannala.

True but longer if the objection wins

Some people will do anything for a few euro..
mind you now the app. is up.... everyone can now object, hey just to tie planning up on this a little bit longer, I think its worth €20 and give him a taste of his own medicine......

Our man in Havana

How long does it take for the plans and other papers to appear online?

KingLoser

They don't. Online is only a reference, you gotta go into the planning office on Maritana Gate for the rest.

Sully

Iv seen plans and papers appear for other applicaitons in the past.. wasnt that the whole idea of making it all online?

Our man in Havana

It takes time for them to scan in all the documents. In the case of this particular application it would make sense for them to do it fast as demand will be high to inspect these particular plans.
