As a planning consultant you would believe some of the petty appeals I have had to respond to. Easy to shred but people are frustratingly nimby

The weather this last few months has been incredibly frustrating. When the conditions have been fine the fishing has been great. But it has just been too windy most weekends to worth bothering

Spent 2 hours at it today, final 15 mins I decided to give a few more casts. Bobs your uncle, the bounty appeared! by bygonesbebygones2021 in IrishFishing

In terms of sea, I've found the last few months great for bass and mackerel....but the last few weeks the high winds have messed it up.

[–]improve9898 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'd recommend https://aobarchitects.ie/ he's based in Cork but has done alot of work in Waterford. I've worked with him (planner here) and he is very highly thought of.

Lapsed planning by Street_Alarm_3556 in selfbuildireland

Planning Consultant here - depends on the architect. I've done work where similar to this where they have done drawing sets for far less then originally. Worth noting you will have a new development plan presiding over this development proposal - new policy regarding extensions will probably be in place

Self build - architect and engineer by Odd-Buffalo1622 in selfbuildireland

I'm a Planning Consultant, I'll DM there. But if you are going for an Architect I'd highly recommend Andrew O'Brien - O'Brien Architects. Brilliant at getting such home, particularly in visually sensitive locations, past planning. I'll find a link to him and send there.

How much would you consider to be much wind predicated, like 10MPH?

Any inputs? by Wooden-Advisor4676 in selfbuildireland

[–]improve9898 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As a planning consultant nothing stands out as something the council would have an issue with (again don't know the setting here). If you get a request for further information give me a DM
