We are currently looking at houses and would prefer one with a driveway at the front.
One house I have seen looks like it might be promising, however one thing is niggling at me.
The front wall has been knocked to create a driveway but the kerb in front has not been dished. Neighbouring houses on the road have also created a driveway but they have the dishing done.
My query is, does the lack of a 'dishing' suggest that the driveway was likely built without obtaining planning permission?
If so, would it be a matter of either the current owner (or the new owner in time) applying to Dublin City Council for the kerb to be dished out.
Or would this simply flag to the council that the driveway was unauthorised?
