Thanks Terry for a very good explanation. It’s a beautiful house and would cost approximately €1,300,000 to construct it today. It was obliviously built without a Mortgage. The owners were 100% wrong to build the house with no Planning Permission and the Council are correct to demolish the Unauthorised Development.
Omg. Here in Australia I remember when this house was built and the controversy about it. I thought it was demolished years ago. Great to hear the latest news on it.
And yet the Muslim comity can build 10 centre in Clondalkin and Lucan with out any planing permission and not a word to them Irish are trying put up a little home in there own garden and made take it down ✨✨✨🙏💕
I really enjoy these videos. Straight talking no meandering with the information. Although MCC are taking the correct action it is very very sad this couple will lose their home. This is the correct outcome because if the couple got away with it the floodgates would open and others would follow the same path. It’s just amazing this case was allowed to go on for eighteen years. one can point the finger of blame or responsibility at either party, ultimately culpability is with the unfortunate owners. Thanks Terry as always an excellent video.
I was involved in a housing OMC for many years. It shocked me the wide range of truly terrible development proposals that came forward. Without proper oversight and consideration unfortunately people will build whatever they want regardless of the impact on their neighbours, community or environment. It might seem like the nanny state, but imagine your neighbour building a high level building that oversees your garden or blocks out all your light. A house without proper parking considered or one that stretches the local utilities infrastructure causing issues with sewage or water supply/removal. It does seem a waste to pull this down, put it sends a message that the law will inevitably be enforced.
3:07 wondering why that is a solid white line with excellent line of vision. Nothing to do with what you were saying but it was a bit distracting. On topic why were they originally refused ?

@extramild1 if it's not impacting any of the surrounding dwellings what the issue here. The government get away with this bull all the time housing the international free loaders. There is a 100 unit property built close to blessington that some big developer building without planning and all the local political parasites are in favour of allowing it to stay put. It's seem to me if you have money or you're politically connected the rules don't apply but a family of 6 like myself can't buy an acer of land and building a modest home with all the government red tape. We are supposed to be free no🤣 I get that these people build a house far to big for just two people but again if it's not overly impacting on other houses in the surrounding area what's the issue here. What about if they have children? Knock a perfectly good home to put a family on the housing list. No what the government should do is kick the Irish family out of their house and put 50 migrants in there without any consultation with the locals. Which they have been doing in every small village across the country but it's fine if they do it right. Building modular units over 400k each with our money with no planning to house the world before housing our own.
My neighbours have built a wooden chalet type dwelling,more than twice the allowable size for a structure,it was built on a foundation 500mm above the ground level,i woke up one day and was looking from my bedroom window at 2 massive glazed windows on this house,this was after she sold one of the 2 houses on the site,she applied for retrospective planning and was refused,went to an bord planeala and was refused but she is still living there,how and when will it be removed?she basically put 2 fingers up to her neighbours,i feel that the electicity company should not be allowed to provide a connection to a dwelling unless proof of legitimate planning be shown
You will have to be patient about 5 years is normal...my neighbour dropped 3 moblie homes into her garden and is renting them for €1700 A month and am still waiting for council intervention.
This would never have happened if proper planning laws were in place without endless appeals going on for 18 years. The planning department own responsibility for their ridiculous laws. The couple should not have continued to build and would not have if the site was closed down. A determined amount of appeals within a certain amount of time is fair, 18 years is not, that’s clown world. Now a beautiful luxury home is being leveled to the ground making a family homeless and emergency accommodation offered to them, it beggars belief.
Good reporting Terry. Sad to see a house that took so much work to build have to come down. Naturally you couldn't show us the house or the neighbourhood it was built in. Perhaps it was a monstrosity?... an eyesore to the countryside around it? Did neighbours protest from the beginning one wonders?... all factors in whether one would feel sympathetic to the owners. As you say planning laws are not there for no reason.
The law is the law . A failure to enact the law here may set a precedent for other people to do the same. Might not seem like a big deal , this one isolated case , but not addressing one case can have a broader long term impact.
OK, they did not comply with the law, but there must be an alternative to knocking it with the country crying out for accommodation, seize the house and hand it over to some charity or some such organisation.
@@lroc6272and we wouldn't be in the mess we are in now if people were allowed to build homes on their own private property. If this house is not impacting any of the surrounding dwellings what's the issue. The government get away with this bollox all the time. Turning hotels, commercial properties ex ex into permanent residential properties for all the freeloaders flooding in from every corner of the world with absolutely ZERO consultation with the the local residents. Like take lisdoonvarna in Clare only up the road from me. They moved into a town of only 850 people over 1100 hand out merchants all coming from safe countries that should have absolutely no right to even be in the country let alone be housed, fed and giving pocket money every week and in a lot of cases are working for cash in hand. But that's fine though and fuk the Irish person. I know a couple that bought a 3 bedroom house less than 10 years ago in Lahinch for 75k, there is a house with nowhere near the amount of work done to it going for 495k now! That's happened all over the country because of the insane restrictions on planning and the importation of 40 year worth of migrants in under 10 years. I tell you for a 100% fact that these brain dead policies are far far more damaging to this nation than some idiot building a ridiculously sized home on his own private property. Make him pay a fine that will go to the building of modular homes on public lands without planning for foreigners😂🤣 people still voting for FFG and SF haven't got 2 fkn braincells to rub together. The uniparty is alive a well, putting bullshi international laws before our own constitution. They are all traitors.
Thank you for another interesting video. These people have either been very badly advised or else so arrogant that they believe the planning laws that everyone else beys don't apply to them and the house should be sadly levelled.
Majestic moped man magically moves in marvelous Meath!
Another mighty video!
House DOING no harm and not costing the state a penny unlike all of our new Economic migrants costing millions per week
That's a mansion, more money than sense.

the Murray's should turn the house into a ipas center, two years and they would have their money back.

Is the the scooter ride through the byeroads of Co. Meath relevant ?
yet they want to prevent homelessness...... god i hate our government
What harm is it actually doing?
Demolish a house during a housing crisis 😂
Would love you to do a report on Lucy letby

Very valid point
The sheer arrogance of the Murray’s is breathtaking, what’s the point in having law if anybody can arbitrarily ignore the laws…
Will Wicklow Co Co take the same action with the unauthorised development near Kilbride ? Very slow to tackle millionaire!
MCC should have demolished this years ago - what are they waiting for _ an invitation from the Murray’s. 😂
They simply gambled hedged their bets that MCC wouldn’t have a fully completed house pulled down ……and lost ..
Its not that house that is the issue its the fact that if its not demolished its sets a precedent for all future development.
Council have no other option but to have it demolished, otherwise we would be all building houses without permission.
Exactly how arrogant of them to think the law does not apply to them

Beautiful house in their own land,not causing a problem to anyone else,let them enjoy it.
I don't think you would say that if your were their neighbours.
It would only bother you if your a jealous person

If you Google “Meath house demolition” , first article will bring you an Irish Independent article that shows picture.
It’s ridiculous to demolish that house

Too much money, not enough brains ....knock it down ,rules are rules ,who the hell to they think they are ??
Is their no onus on builders not to build unless they see proof of planning permission?. So this couldn't happen in the first place?.
No. Builder follows clients instructions
@@terrygorryon the council enforcement letters it states that anyone building or carrying out work can be held accountable

Thats the client building contractor not liable..
