Dublin councillors reject proposals allowing for log cabins in gardens.
DUBLIN CITY COUNCILLORS have rejected proposals to allow for ‘log cabins’ in the gardens of family homes in an effort to ease the housing crisis.
Lyons, however, has argued in favour of allowing for free-standing structures to ease the pressure on those renting, those who’ve lost their homes and those saving for a deposit to buy a home. Relaxing current planning regulations to allow for ‘log cabins’ “will result in the provision of small substandard dwellings,” the report notes.
Crucial to the matter, the report notes, is the “issue of access which could have safety implications for future residents in the event of a fire”.
