Description

EXPP: Summary In March 2025 the owners of the property directly adjacent to our home (412 Clogher Rd, Dublin 12, D12 K466) constructed a boundary/garden block wall between both properties (410 & 412 Clogher Rd), but within the curtilage of their property. Measured from the ground level on our side, the height of the wall is in excess of the 2 metres permitted as exempted development under current planning regulations. The total height of the wall from the ground level on our side = 2.5m It should be noted in consideration of this application that the ground level of the adjacent property was at the same level as our own property before construction of the boundary wall and extension to the rear of the property commenced. This is evidenced in page 1 of the document labelled 'Visuals', included as part of this application In consideration of this application, I believe the following recommendation from The Society of Chartered Surveyors of Ireland (SCSI) should be considered, which states the following on the matter of the height of a garden wall between two properties: 'The most likely interpretation from the planning authority, or An Bord Pleanála on referral, is likely to be that the height of the structure cannot exceed 2m when measured from the ground level outside the site, ie the lower level. This interpretation may be taken in the interests of protecting neighbouring amenities.'
