Draft guidelines that could see new housing developments limited to one parking space per household reflect “best practice” within the industry.
That’s according to Irish Planning Institute Vice President Gavin Lawlor, who said the proposals are already the reality in some parts of Dublin.
The rule aims to boost housing density and would only apply to new homes built in urban areas with good access to public transport.
In rural areas, the draft guidelines suggest two car parking spaces per household would be appropriate.“Within the canals, in certain areas, Dublin City Council wouldn’t consider a minimum garden size of between six and eight square metres per bed space," Mr Lawlor said. “There are many examples of that in Dublin city centre - of very small houses, one and two bedrooms with limited garden sizes.”
