'This is unjust' - family living in log cabin with four children refused retention permission by council

"They were granted permission to build a farmhouse on the land in 2021"

"A family who have been living in a log cabin on their farmland for the past six years have been refused retention permission by Wicklow County Council."

"Isabella and Brendan Carey were previously granted permission to demolish the unauthorised log cabin and replace it with a farmhouse back in 2021."

A family has lived in a log cabin on their farmland for the past six years. Wicklow County Council refused retention permission for the log cabin. The occupants are Isabella and Brendan Carey. The Careys were previously granted permission in 2021 to demolish the unauthorised log cabin and replace it with a farmhouse. The 2021 permission authorized construction of a farmhouse on the land. The refusal of retention permission applies to the existing cabin and contrasts with the earlier planning approval for demolition and replacement.
