Under the planning system, many minor works to structures do not normally require planning permission.  These works are known as exempted development.  However, for a Protected Structure, such works can be carried out without planning permission only if the works would not affect the character of the structure or any element of the structure that contributes to its special interest. If unsure if planning permission is required, it is advised to contact the Conservation Division. 

Planning authorities must have regard to Section 28 guidelines which are Ministerial guidelines issued under the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). They provide guidance on various planning matters, including the design standards for new apartments and housing growth requirements to meet the National Planning Framework (NPF) housing targets.

The proposed Variation will address recent changes in national planning policy (NPF) and specific policy updates (SPPR’s) that are needed in the short term.

Where a ministerial guideline contains a Specific Planning Policy Requirement (SPPR), it is legally binding and must be applied by the planning authorities. The proposed Variation addresses SPPRs from the Planning Design Standards for Apartments and the Sustainable Residential Development and Compact Settlement Guidelines.

These Regulations affect businesses such as crash repair operators that are involved in Vehicle Refinishing activities. The Regulations apply to all commercial operators that use paint products containing Organic Solvents on their premises.
