    All development was prohibited on the site. There was never ever any possibility they would be offered planning permission on the site. They would have known this at the outset.

    They were taking the piss and sticking their two fingers up to everyone who followed the correct procedure.

    Planning decisions and reasons are in the public domain.

    If the family end up homeless after demolishing the house, I'd guess that normal homeless provisions would kick in.

    It's not about 'commuting patterns'. It's about car-bound lifestyles so that every trip is a car trip. Every school run, every shopping trip, every 'we've run out of milk' scenario, every playdate, every GAA training, every parent teacher meeting - every trip is a car trip. That's not sustainable.

    Here's an update on the planet.

    All of this is dragging the thread off topic, please stick to discussion of this house.

    Meath CoCo can't CPO the site or just take and convert the house into flats. There are prescribed punishments for unauthorised development which Meath CoCo have to abide by, and that includes forcing the owners to demolish the property. Not only that but the cost for Meath to buy the house and convert it wouldn't be worth it, nor would the added costs if the owners objected to the CPO (which they surely would). The owners could say if the property is okay for Meath CoCo to purchase and use for housing, then the Council are ignoring their own grounds for not granting retention permission to the owners.

    They should be forced to demolish the property. That's the only reasonable outcome at this stage.

    It doesn't appear that Meath CoCo are abiding by those punishments.

    I’d say if you come back to this thread in 2028 there will still be no update.

    Meath Co Co are just hoping that house sinks into the bog!
