Brittas Developers Face 13-Week Deadline

In a dramatic legal showdown in Brittas, south Co Dublin, developers who built 29 modular homes without planning permission face a 13-week deadline to tear them all down — after a High Court judge called their actions “particularly egregious.” Initially given six weeks, they pushed for 29 weeks, claiming slower removal would be less environmentally damaging. The judge rejected that, saying their financial woes are self-inflicted — they ignored warnings and legal notices, hoping to present a “done deal.” To ensure compliance, he’s ordered a €150,000 bond with South Dublin County Council, refundable only after the site is fully restored. Developers are now seeking a stay, eyeing a Supreme Court appeal and even retention planning permission — with a hearing scheduled next week.
