A recent development overlooking my property came with some conditions. One of the conditions was that semi-mature trees must be planted along the boundary wall to screen our properties from the new properties. The builder complied with this condition and planted really beautiful semi-mature trees (height approximately 15-20 feet). The purchasers of the two properties overlooking my property ripped the trees up, however, to put in sheds. Is this a breach of the condition and must they replace the trees to comply with the original condition?
Independent Galway East TD Seán Canney
An independent TD has said that vacant homes in towns and villages should be refurbished and utilised in an effort to tackle the housing shortage in the country.
Galway East Dáil representative, Seán Canney said the housing supply crisis is a “difficult issue”, but the government is “missing out on an opportunity by refusing to recognise the potential” to bring vacant houses back into use.
“Every town and village has properties which are boarded up for many years; they are a blight on the streetscapes. The 2016 census reported that 245,460 dwellings were vacant in the country,” the deputy said.
