Re: Re: Perplexed Planning Green Horn

Thanks for the prompt reply Henno
I absolutely agree with you regarding renovating/rebuilding an existing ruin/dwelling.
We did look at another site which had a tiny 2/3 bed ‘cottage’ on its 0.5 acre site. It seems like a ‘catch 22’…. A new site is advertised at €x and we can’t get permission to build new because we are blow ins. A site with a ‘cottage’ on it is priced at €x+100k – house would need 10’s of thousands spent on it just to make it watertight and habitable for the duration…..
Our optimism is fading fast.
