They’re being weaponised and radicalised by the greens and their ilk
I’d love to know how many of the positive submissions were copy and paste?
Everyone knows that 4 storeys is plenty high. I’d nearly stretch to 8 in D1 or d2
While constructive objection is welcome, especially given how avaricious developers are, most of the infrastructure projects in Ireland over the last thirty years have been ground to a halt with people who don’t want those dreadful, dreadful buildings ruining the atmosphere of the area, i.e. the value of their houses objecting and the mantra is always the same “I’m not against -whatever the project is- but..” We need legitimate alternatives to some projects (Johnny Ronan would have us all in skyscrapers) and must have projects progress through at the same time.
Planning objections were weaponised by politicians of all parties, some of those objections are valid. The worst one I saw in my rural area was the local hunt objecting to a farmer building on his land as it would disrupt their gallop during the hunt as the farmer let them go across his land. They objected en masse and the planning permission got rejected, strangely he denied them permission to use his land anymore. Can not imagine why.
But that sort of behaviour will cause a backlash, if objectors keep stopping projects, people will get angry, especially infrastructure ones. People are angry over how bad are cities are designed, just a sprawling mess of suburban developments. I am. I am tired of just horrible people using the planning system to get their way. I sent 2 emails of support for stuff happening in my area. I have tried to look at the development plans for my area but I just don’t have time to take it in.
It’s always been thus. The same people objecting to housing being built are the same ones crying because their children can’t afford to buy or rent in the same area .
Went down like a lead balloon at the concerned citizens meeting about twenty or so years ago.
