A Dublin businessman has been given until March come up with a plan for the demolition of an extension at his beachside home after a judge ruled the development is "unauthorised".
David Walsh claims the fence around his four-storey townhouse was put up to stop foxes entering his garden. But his neighbours have accused him of making the heritage area look like a POW camp and causing a public safety risk. Mr Walsh, founder of insurance company CFC, bought the property in 2023. In retrospective planning documents he argued that the inclusion of the fence was intended for fox prevention purposes, according to the Daily Mail.
