Planning permission for a houseboat

Kev111

Hi all. I am considering building a houseboat due to high monthly rent costs. My idea may seem crazy regarding what I plan but I would appreciate any help with people that may have either experienced the planning regarding this or people that may be involved in the planning end of rules and regulations in Ireland. I have my own site and the idea would be to dig out a site sized plot to say 5/6 foot deep and fill with water, sealed obviously to eliminate seepage. Probably go for full high spec solar panels. Chemical waste toilets and filtered water storage. And build a single story liveable dwelling on high density flotation base. So any info regarding planning for this would be appreciated because it may be possible to legally get this achieved. I have not yet contacted any Co Co Council yet regarding this

This is the wrong forum for your query - I'm not sure we have a correct forum for building a houseboat in 6 feet of water on a plot of land but possibly try the Construction & Planning forum or Accommodation & Property forum.
