Sean Meehan's struggle with An Bord Pleanála highlights the difficulties individuals face with planning regulations. After investing €15,000 in planning and legal costs, he faces imprisonment for his log cabin built without permission.
Meehan expressed frustration over the planning authority's lack of goodwill, noting how the notice of refusal came just days before Christmas—making the timing particularly distressing.
Despite being initially informed of a likely delay in the decision being made until March, Meehan was met with an unexpected notification that has left him feeling anxious about his future.
This situation illustrates the complex interplay of personal investment in planning processes and the rigid nature of planning laws, which can lead to severe consequences for individuals.
