Hi kceire, the path is already dished, so would not have that expense. What sort of ball park figure would we be looking at to have plans drawn up?

We want to knock down a wall in order to drive in our car from the main road. Does anyone know who is entitled to draw up the plan for the Council, we are in the Dun Laoghaire/Rathdown area. It hardly requires an architect - Can the builder do it?

Thanks everyone, I eventually got a company that specializes in sourcing leaks and they found a mains water leak under the patio. Delighted to have problem sorted though it cost over €900!

Yes water is rising up from the ground, unfortunately dont know where the water main runs under the ground, I suspect it is a leak in the water main. Contacted Irish Water as I understood they fix the first leak, but they informed me that they are now in 'transience' and will not do it. Not...

Thanks again for all your replies. The fence is on the boundary wall. Was not aware till now about the 2m rule and my landscaper must not have heard of it either. Anyone know what's involved and how much it would cost to apply for retention now? Never met neighbour who complained as the...

Thanks for info. I agree the Planners must have little to do these days! The original fence did not have permission, didn't think it was needed as trellis/fence was used for climbing plants to cover an ugly brick wall.

I replaced my old boundary fence in the back garden which had begun to rot with a superior quality 'Colourfence' which a landscaper installed. Next thing I received three registered letters from Dublin City Council, each of which contained a 'Warning Letter under Section 127' from the Planning...
