Petition to allow rural planning to continue in Mayo

Petition to allow rural planning to continue in Mayo - 30 signed

Rural planning throughout the vast majority of Mayo is under threat due to a recommendation from the Office of the Planning REgulator. If carried, it will render most of the county impossible to obtain planning.

We, the undersigned, call on the Minister for State Peter Burke at the department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage to allow rural planning to continue in Mayo.

We wish the government to acknowledge the following and allow rural planning applications to be considered in the Mayo County Development Plan 2022 - 2028:

Rural development plays a significant role in alleviating the housing crisis.
Rural dwelling is essential to maintain a vibrant rural community.
Sons and daughters should be permitted the opportunity to build on the family farm if they so wish.
The necessity of rural development to maintain and support intergenerational family farming.

Local.mayo people have the eight to live in the place they were born. And raised in the lands inherited by them.
Looks like the start of trying to bring about 15/20 min towns - no one off housing, they want everyone centralised with no cars.
Mayo needs Rural planning to survive
Totally crazy and unacceptable in a country which has a tradition and culture of rural housing and one-off housing!.... unlike the tradition of most European countries…. Which is still based on the Feudal system…..Where people and farmers only live/lived in villages …… not out on the land…. As we live in Ireland. We are one of the few countries which never had the Feudal System!!! And long may our Irish traditional way of life continue. Our traditional ( non/feudal) way of life MUST be respected!
House good to live in
Rural Ireland well neglected
This bill shows pure contempt for the west of Ireland & total lack of understanding of rural living it is down to the elected reps of co.mayo to know thr nuances & needs of country life where neighbours & close commuity members are an integral support system to each other.- This is also true of all rural Ireland.Which ever amadán thought up this policy needs banishing to deepest Belmullet for the winter with no transport or family & face reality of rural Mayo
Mayo needs investment in regeneration and new builds.
This planning block by a metroman in Dublin, is the final nail in the coffin of rural Ireland and will lead to further emmigration, public Ireland's real legacy to it's people! It affects basic personal freedom, a way of life, adequate housing provision in a county where homeless in tents are already a reality & adversely affects the construction industry and very importantly tourism.
Totally unacceptable
Totally unacceptable
Why should 5000 years of unbroken living be interrupted to suit vested political interests in Dublin. This is the reality, there is an east Coast planning narrative and it is resulting in the slow death of rural Ireland.....well no more of it.
Planning permission is obscure and stupid enough as practiced by clueless bureaucrats without adding more pointless and unexplained restrictions.

The Irish political system is radically broken

In Ireland the vast majority of elected representatives put a finger in the air to check which way the political wind is blowing. They have one eye on their leaders – seeking brownie points – and another eye keeping their seat safe. If elected reps shut up and do as they’re told, they are promoted; if they stand up for what they believe in, they are demoted. No wonder we have the political class we have. No wonder one point one billion euro is being buried in a hole under the National Children’s Hospital and that Stormont is in stalemate.

Throughout Ireland, many people are now afraid to say what they feel, many are afraid to respectfully engage on a range of different topics. Many feel there is a new censorship and a new political correctness in Ireland, that opposition to the establishment is being deleted.

Respectful opposition is not the enemy. Respectful opposition is a critical element of a functional democracy. Aontú will have the backbone to stand up, without fear, for you.
