QUESTION NO.4

QUESTION: Councillor J. Hannon

To ask the Manager to report on the approach taken by the Planning Dept to applications which seek to sub-divide or convert single occupancy dwellings into apartments ie facilitating multiple occupancy?

REPLY:
Standards for residential units are specified in the Development Plan, and include inter alia matters such as density, minimum bedroom sizes, private amenity space provision, and carparking. All residential units, either new-build or resulting from subdivision of existing buildings, must comply with these standards in order for planning permission to be granted.
