ISLE OF PALMS — After a judge ordered an unpermitted seawall in front of a beachfront home must be removed, all parties involved in the litigation are attempting to appeal the ruling.

South Carolina Administrative Law Judge Ralph K. Anderson III upheld an initial ruling on Dec. 30 ordering Isle of Palms homeowners Rom and Renee Reddy to remove the retaining wall constructed behind their beachfront home on Breach Inlet.

Anderson’s order laid out a timeframe for the couple to remove the wall and restore the beach to its previous condition within around six months.

At the same time, Anderson vacated $289,000 worth of fines levied by the Department of Environmental Services against Reddy, and ruled that the homeowner had not “violated a regulation, standard, or requirement” under the S.C. Coastal Zone Management Act when the state agency issued the fines in July 2024.

Now, Reddy, the state agency and the Coastal Conservation League, a nonprofit that intervened in the case in 2024, have filed three separate appeals.
