In response to a Dublin couple facing fines for installing external insulation, People Before Profit-Solidarity has proposed a two-page bill to exempt such installations from planning permission, barring certain exceptions. This initiative aims to clarify the confusion surrounding planning permissions, as the couple, Clive and Samantha Ryan, experienced significant challenges despite using an approved builder and receiving financial support. Their case illustrates broader issues surrounding eco-friendly home improvements and the need for clear regulations that support rather than hinder homeowners' efforts to insulate their properties.
The case of a couple threatened with fines for their external insulation has prompted legislative changes aimed at simplifying planning permission requirements for insulation projects.
The local council's lack of clarity on planning permission for external insulation has left homeowners confused and wary of making eco-friendly upgrades.
