Fine Gael TD and Minister of State for Planning and Local Government Peter Burke has today said significant work has gone into balancing the right to build one-off homes in rural Ireland in a sustainable manner. “The new guidelines clearly state that those who have a need to build their own home in rural Ireland will be permitted to do so if they have a clear economic or social need,” the Minister said.
He said that as every area is different geographically, planning authorities will be able to show discretion in order to get the right balance.
