It's a group water scheme but yet the reports are going to Irish water per the planning application so they must have some involvement as well

**** them they are loaded with money digging up the road wouldn't be a thing to them

The father has a mini digger so probably thinks it's far cheaper open it himself and lay most of it

If I can't get legal protection after all I've read then I'm not doing it

It's $$$ and work straightaway for you with solicitors and fact checking

Don't even bother with the legal work

Do you mean just let them put it down without any legal document for leave of way?

What would happen if I sold it and next owner refused them permission to enter the field?

The application seems to show the water was to go up the concrete road he only asked about the field few weeks back

I think as I cannot legally protect myself by signing a leave of way even if I wanted to or them either to be honest I'll pull the plug and tell them no tomorrow

He'd be known as a cute heure locally anyways

Good, as least forewarned is forearmed.

Where I referred to the 50 mm line, it was coming from a 12 ft road onto an 8 foot road (also a public road). The reason given by the Council was water pressure needed for a fire hydrant. The distance was more than a quarter of a mile along the verge of the road. The line remained private property and permission would have to be sought for anyone else wishing to connect. Incidentally, the fire hydrant never materialised.

Let them go up the roadway. Best for everyone. What is their problem is not yours. I would say thanks but no thanks.

Agreed.
I was the good neighbour and allowed them to put the pipe through my land on a friendly arrangment between neighbours.
Two years later the house was sold in the property boom...

My advice would be get professional advice on it and stick to the letter of the law. The pipe will be there long after the people who agree to put it there. This oul spiel of 'let it in between neighbours' is very short-sighted.

You've got a great excuse in that as the property is in probate you are not
in a position to allow any such wayleave.
With any luck they will have sorted out their water problem by the time
probate is sorted.

Some thing's are worth risking relations with neighbours

Aravo · 28-07-2020 09:45AM

They have another option, let them use that. Don't devalue your land before you even get IT (OP is to inherite the land).
If you wanted to be cute, say no to bringing it onto your land and your preference is bring it up the road way and you would make a small contribution of e400-500 towards it and for a tee to be left out for yourself. Or you would help with labour of them bringing it up roadway like spreading the concrete etc.

I looked it up Irish water are responsible for it now for new connections and a wayleave would be required, which I legally can't give so that's that

ChuckieEgg · 28-07-2020 10:46AM

It all sounds iffy, for starters to get planning permission, a Mortgage or even to sell the house in the future the water supply would have to be established legally.
Just tell them to go a around the road like everyone else. If they are the type to fall out with you over that then you can be sure they are going to fall out with you over something else in the future instead

Sonic the Shaghog · 28-07-2020 11:24AM

It's sorted now no hassle said he understood he'll just cut up through the concrete road with the saw and lay it all sorted

I find it difficult to believe there's no room for a narrow trench either side of the concrete.

28-07-2020 11:48AM

Can they not dig along the side of the road to put it down, is there no verge?

Sacrolyte · 28-07-2020 11:58AM

Is that it?! All sorted. No shotgun. No fisticuffs. No fcukin matches. Yer all too civilised. Can’t believe I read 7 pages for that outcome. I want my money back.

No solicitors letters?

Your doing it wrong.

Sonic the Shaghog · 28-07-2020 12:15PM

How do I describe it.

Their fathers house was in a little dirt track through our fields originally

Eventually my father and his father agreed to a raised concrete road and concrete fence laid exactly either side of the road in

Any grass etc is the fields either side, so it would have to be either laid through my field and we are then back to square one where I couldn't legally give a right of way anyways as will and probate isn't done

His father's water supply actually comes up the same road under the concrete as it is too

Wow.. The neck on your man.
The dirt track became a road and they still wanted to put a pipe through your land. Where does it end?
Good result anyway.

Wildsurfer · 28-07-2020 01:37PM

I have a group water scheme pipe going through my land that owners before me gave permission for but it doesn't serve the land anymore as I have my own supply to it now. The pressure is so high that pipe is bursting at least once a year. One day I said I'd fix it myself rather than wait as field was flooding. So there I was down in a hole with a shovel and a housewife rings me to give out that she has no water! That's the thanks you will get down the line.

howsshenow · 28-07-2020 01:42PM

Get him to put the water pipe into a conduit, will eliminate alot of concerns.

Aravo · 28-07-2020 02:22PM

This is the type of thing that every KT discussion group should have a site visit on. Everyone would turn up.

That concrete road will be a problem too when you go sell the land, as to who really owns it

Tea drinker · 28-07-2020 03:28PM

If it's in probate they can lay off the expense of the works needed against CAT?
Just guessing, might be little cost to the neighbour to do it right

GreeBo · 28-07-2020 04:59PM

Can they not use the fathers water supply and just move the meters?
