- Local Needs planning is something i get asked about a lot & its a thing that a lot of you feel prohibits you from moving to an area. But that's totally not the case. This video is about getting your bags unpacked in your own country cottage even if there are restrictions on planning in that area.

I curate 2 email property digests crammed to the top of Irish house bargains. One covers everything under €100k & the other covers everything over €100k. If you're serious about buying your first home, investing in a money making cottage or looking for somewhere to spend your summers then get your name on the list here:www.cheapirish...
I totally agree with some of these Local Needs because it gives priority to the residents who were born and raised there. This is very important because I've seen this very thing happen in the Caribbean where foreigners buy up all of the prime lands, which drives up market price and locals have no hope of being remotely able to purchase a piece of their own homeland and it actually drives them out of their own hometown. I've seen the same thing happen in Banff, Alberta, Canada. Completely ridiculous that people who are born there cannot afford to live there. Every country has the right to preserve land for its own people and I'm glad to see that countries like Ireland has given much thought to this.
Bermuda has laws to protect islanders from being priced out of the market. It makes a lot of sense.
I hope Ireland keeps these local needs laws in place. My own hometown is so expensive I couldn’t possibly live there. I had to move to a different state, that is not close to being as nice as where I grew up. All over the U.S. and Canada property is being purchased by outsiders and prices are out of control. A friend of mine who earns a lot in his profession, living in Vancouver BC can’t afford a home. A small place is now a million dollars. Foreign buyers have bought up all the properties for vacation homes. It’s sad. And by Local Needs not allowing the ridiculous McMansions to be built, it keeps the charming character of Ireland that we all love.
A great subject to shed light on. Makes perfect sense to me. Just buy the ugly duckling in the location you want, with size close to need and clean the home up. Best way to go in most countries actually. Thanks, great channel.
You summarised it perfectly! Thanks for watching xx
"Local needs" is currently being reviewed following European courts ruling on Flemish decree and the freedom of movement of people.
Ireland has been called to task over more that several years regarding same and they have said to 'Brussels', sleeveen cap in hand that they will comply but haven't as yet, typical vested interests at work, what with those Parish Pump Politics back here in Ireland at work, looks like they /We shall be fined for not complying with that is the next option if we ignore that directive...so this Elephant in the Room will have to be addressed sooner rather than later ...Quote "Housing minister Darragh O'Brien will deliver updated rural housing guidelines - which will address the ECJ ruling on the Flemish Decree - to local authorities later this year" www.irishexaminer.com/opinion/commentanalysis/arid-40313960.html
Great information presented in a simple way instead of having to figure out the local planning minefield! Renovating derelict houses and building environmentally sustainable buildings that blend into the area is the way to go. McMansions have no place anywhere. Love the channel, keeps me dreaming!
Great info! Look to buy a house with the square footage you need. Simple but worth taking time to consider. 👍
Can you revamp an existing septic system that isn't in good repair, if it's at least existent? Many of the old ones are there but don't work.
Also, what about caravans/tiny house on wheels? I suspect it's not allowed to live in them; most places it usually isn't, but it can't hurt to ask.
I agree completely with rules that keep property available for local residents rather than allowing outsiders to blow in and take the place over. I just want to make sure I know what the rules actually are. Thank you so much for all this information!
Oh Maggie... Thanks so much for the thorough explanation. you anawered all the questions in my mind 😘😇
Great video! Thanks again 🙏
I'd love if you could do a video on buying different types of land (e.g. agricultural) and planning permission. It seems you can't get permission for anything... hello cob house/ earthship? P.S. your channel is a god send. it feels impossible to get a home in Ireland and you're spreading hope!
I understand the local needs with the new planning permission on a site, but when somebody buying a old cottage and wish to upgrade and make it bigger with one or 2 bedrooms size etc.... that shouldn't be restricted at all and I don't think that is fair but also, discriminative and unlawful in the EU.
Super helpful, thank you so much! I found it very difficult though to see before hand the local needs zone map...or cannot figure out how to make it work on myplan.ie ahah
This move make no sense, huge shortage of houses on the market people throwing out the door by landlords, houses prices from space and still government not consider to make things easier for people to get some roof for family? Honestly Ireland is like Cartoon network
so lovely, so helpful, thank you x
Love ya!!! Thanks so much for all of the info!! ❤️❤️❤️
The land of cant... You'd swear there was an oversupply.
9 bedroom McMansion 😆 😂
My ancestors were tenant farmers for over 120 years in Co Mayo, my grandparents immigrated in their early 20s to America and I want to buy and build in Co Mayo but I can't. I'm given an Irish passport, but my ancestors grandchildren aren't apparently allowed to get permission to build their own home:(
Very helpful. Thanks
I'm confused, is I bought a cottage that did not have a septic tank can I still live in it without adding a septic tank? I always planned om having a compost toilet abd rainwater catcher so wont need one
Can you buy a cottage, live in the community become local and than go ahead and apply for a planning permission for an extension or adding additional buildings?
Great info!
Is there a map that shows which regions have these restrictions? I tried Google but got lost in planning/zoning maps that didn't offer the information I was seeking.
There isn’t unfortunately. Not to my knowledge anyway. The decision making on this is specific to each local council and they are far from coordinated enough on a national level 🙈
I'm named after St. Kevin and I've always dreamed of living with with a rake of animals up the Wicklow mountains, but local needs has seemed like an unsurmountable obstacle. This video has been so helpful to me!
You could always buy a couple of greyhounds, grow a long scraggly beard and head off to Arklow for Saint Patrick's Day.
Interesting 🌸
We have land bought subject to Planning, my husband is from where the land is, his family is still there etc (not family land), credit union, bank etc is all in the town we want to build, we rent in a town 20 mins away. Would we have local needs? do you think they would give us planning to build a house similar to the neighbours?
What do you do if there’s no old houses for sale and your only option is to buy a land and build a house? ( I’m a local person)
so at the end of the day..what you say here is i have to sell few kidneys to afford to buy a new house somewhere in this country huh?cause the councils are still sh.t asking for local needs when there are over 10k homeless people in ireland and when it is impossible to rent or buy a house?
Would I get planning permission for a granny flat?
How long would you have to live in a place to be considered local?
Some areas it's 7 years, others it's 10. And you have to prove you're an integral part of the community, whatever that means...
@@BlogWhatTheFruitcake You go to church, send kids to the local school and GAA. Although you will an outsider all your life.
We just need an African to apply for permission and they get refused !is it because iam black
