Re: Re: Cork Transport

Oh and by the way, consider this difference:

Property developer redevelops entire large city site with completely new buildings. Can build right out to site edge, encroaching on public footpaths etc.

Home owner in county Cork wishes to rebuild ageing gateway / part of boundary wall. Planning rules dictate that a new boundary wall must be set back a prescribed distance from the road, effectively making the land owner forfeit a strip of roadside land to the council.

Why don’t planning regulations like these apply to city developments?
