Wed 03 Mar 2011Couple needed permission to rebuild
A COUPLE should have obtained planning permission before they rebuilt a derelict house in an area of outstanding natural beauty in Co Wicklow, a High Court judge has ruled.
While Mr Justice John Edwards refused to give Wicklow County Council an order which would effectively mean the house at Aghfarrell, Brittas, would have to be demolished, he indicated the couple may face substantial legal costs due to the court action. The costs issue will be dealt with later.
