I stated this when I looked for the pre-planning meeting.A suggestion as your going to live next door to your parents is to say that you will talk care of them as they get older - therefore providing a 'local' service.
Hi SquireI, like you, had a house in a neighbouring county and got planning on family land back home two years ago. Do like others said and write a letter quoting the development plan and explaing how you consider yourself to meet the criteria set down. Get letters from local priest/garda/teacher etc stating that you are originally from the area and include them as backup/proof of you claims. I included all this in the planning application and never had a problem.
Best of luck with it.
Much appreciated, Ciaran.I will PM you a copy of the letter I sent to the County Planner to show how I met the local needs. Owning a house never arose as a problem.
Would this be it?There was a document by Dick Roche last year sometime which if memory serves correctly attempted to relax the rules on one-off houses in rural locations, especially when the applicant had some ties to the area. I had a quick look in http://www.environ.ie (www.environ.ie) but couldn't track it down. If you can find it there may be some other ideas which could help.
