A south Dublin homeowner has been issued with an enforcement order by Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council after he had most of his €5.35 million house in Sandycove demolishedwithout proper planning permission. John Hurley has been told to halt work at Mornington House, a five-bedroom Victorian era house at Sandycove Point, because far more of the house had been demolished than was permitted under planning permission. Mr Hurley bought the house in 2005 and subsequently secured planning permission to demolish a two-storey extension to the house as well as a front porch, sunroom and conservatory. Permission was also granted for a new two-storey contemporary extension linked to the main house by a glazed corridor.
