    Here's another monstrosity, complete with limestone "Constellations" (I think they meant crenellations)!!!!

    Vile pastiche but the interior is lovely.

    Complete with own Caravaggio....

    I really hope the neighbours complain and they end up getting a huge fine. But realistically instead they'll list it on Airbnb as a 'unique, once in a lifetime treehouse-esque living experience' and make a small fortune from short-term lets without even a telling off.

    Extension cant exceed 40 sqm and can not be higher that the original building.
    I think they knew exactly what they were doing regulation wise.

    I don't think that planning exception applies here because it's only for extensions made behind the house whereas this studio is in the side passage. Also I believe this would apply to this situation:
    Garages or sheds to the side of the house must match the finish of the house and may not be lived in or used for commercial purposes
    (for the extension to qualify for a development not requiring planning permission)

    So they didn't get planning and it looks like it would be required.

    Yeah when it's on the streetscape like that, not a chance you'd get away with it. Hopefully they get a tear-down order.

    Yes, permitted development, assuming they havn't already extended at the back.

    If the building inspector asks, it's not a room. It's a window box

    It's last year's powder blue faux-leather 3-piece suite liberally distrubuted around the bedrooms that particularly caught my eye!


    Would they not just have sold it/given it away? :confused:

    Where did those pictures come from? Angry neighbour or the owners themselves?

    How has none of their neighbours objected or lodged a complaint to the Council??? :confused: People have done it for a lot less....

    If that property protestor crowd want to protest something, they should call around to this place for a cup of tea.

    The one and only comment:

    How long did it take you to get a code variance and building permit to put that within the right of way like that?

    I don't think people do choose to live that way at all, I think Forced is more to the point.

    1 girl having her own room is the one ripping people off ;)

    All nice people except her tbh.

    There are things that we are not aware of with oversea students on budget, overstaying immigrants etc who will do anything to have a place to stay.

    Then you have leeches like that girl who abuse the system, lives rent free and pretends to be a nice girl. Lol.

    How do you know that the person with their own room isn't paying more? You'd be very lucky to get a 2-bed in Dublin for 5x€260 so it would make sense if one person is paying more than the rest.

    Let's just call it a hunch, and that particular property doesn't look great either, so I would say it is at the cheapest end. The very cheapest end.
    And who said there are 2 bedrooms?

    Is there a sitting room provided? I doubt it. You pay for a shared bed.

    "Landlady" is making sure the others pay her share, but she did provide a pillow and duvet which you have to pay 20 euro for :)

    I assumed so given the first picture on the ad appears to be the living room, then if there's two other rooms it must be at least a 2-bed.

    Dunno about forced. Person staying there has decided to let someone sleep in their bed, tis mental.

    Pretty silly hunch, why would someone with their own room be paying the same as someone sharing with 3 people?

    Probably €2000 for the 2 bed. Standard these days.
