You should look for a decent site at the edge of the town, many of the County Development plans will only grant planning permission those with links to the local community such as those born there or teachers, Gardai, farmers etc.

I recently called a County Council to discuss a development matter, it was at the edge of a small town and had a lot of development adjacent but on the country side of the site.

I was told quite frankly that because I wasn;t a local I wouldn’t get PP no matter what to develop anything on the site it was ‘reserved for locals’

That is fair enough.
