    Does anyone know of anyone in Ireland, England or the world, who has got planning permission for having a compost toilet of any sort.
    Any information would be grateful.

    I think there was a compost loo at The Organic Centre in Leitrim but I don't know if it is still there or if they had planning permission for it.

    So frustrating the apathy and lack of forward thinking by various planning bodies in Ireland.

    On one hand the lack of tourist accommodation is supposedly restricting our ability to cater for more tourists and on the other hand we have planning authorities that want us to live side by side in identical 1950's style concrete bungalows.

    If you wanted to build no-impact (i.e. removable) eco friendly sustainable tourist camping accommodation in some wood or leastways attractive location, I believe it would be impossible right now.

    If you wanted to build concrete blockhouses, with septic tanks you might be able to but it would probably take at least twenty years. At least.

    Bizzarre really, I thought we were supposed to be "green" and environmentally responsible?

    Plenty of them given planning permission in Wexford, both for private dwellings and for commercial/camping/etc sites. Has the OP tried in their county?
