The planning authority gave us permission to build an extension to the rear and side of our house. They inserted a condition to agree the boundary treatments to the side and rear. Nothing specific was mentioned in the condition but it was to be agreed. We started our extension, not fully completed. We then proceeded to build a 1 meter high front boundary wall which is exempted under planning regulations. The planners have asked us to remove the wall. The issue is that the condition did not specifically tell us not to build a wall, other houses in our estate have built similar walls all exempted development. We want to enter into an agreement regarding the condition and the 1 meter high wall but the council won't engage. Why are they making such a big deal about a small wall? Can I appeal a condition to an bord pleanala or do they have the last say? If I seek a section 5 declaration would that help??
