Modular home planning permission

rover600

Hi guys, briefly... I'm from Dublin but living in the US for the last 10 years, I want to get a place back home so I have somewhere to retire to. Does any of you know if there is a county where my chances of buying a site & erecting a modular home would be easier? Ideally I'd like somewhere within walking distance of a town. I don't want to waste everyone's time if some counties are just dismissing permission applications like mine....so thanks in advance, I have to start somewhere 👍☘

if youre applying on zoned land within a town boundary, you have a chance

if you are applying on rural land which is zoned "strategically weak" you may also have a chance

if you are applying on rural land not zone strategically weak, you have no chance.

(the above is a general high level synopsis of planning. the actual impacting policies absolutely depend on where you are applying)

hi i was thinking about Modulars too.

I was inspired by an episode of Grand designs.

and saw a site in Wicklow but am afraid it will be stopped by section 47.

actually my absolutely not going to happen outrageous plan is to build 5 modulars on the site with their own private entrance and private back garden but access to a common area.

imagine a circle of houses….

i dunno. anyone i said it to is like..nah..to ambitious etc…
