An aerial view of some of the modular homes on a site in Brittas, Co DublinSouth Dublin County Council is seeking court orders requiring the removal of an “uncontrolled” development of modular homes allegedly being built without planning permission on a site in Brittas, Co Dublin. Photographs put before Dublin Circuit Civil Court indicated about 28 homes have been constructed to date, with foundations laid for at least 12 more. The council wants the development by Branach Developments Ltd on adjoining sites at Chianti Park and Hillsbrook Lawn removed and the sites restored. A local resident, John O’Neill, who lives with his family about 200m from the site, also sought orders restraining the development. Addressing claims the structures are not “new” structures, counsel said they are entirely different structures in terms of their design and their permanent nature.
