🏡 Big Changes to Planning Rules in Ireland!

Did you know that new planning exemption regulations now allow many homeowners to build a self-contained standalone dwelling in the rear garden without planning permission, provided the property and proposed building meet the required conditions? 👷‍♂️🏠

This is a fantastic opportunity for:
✅ A granny flat for ageing parents
✅ Independent accommodation for adult children
✅ Long-term rental potential
✅ A future-proof investment in your property

These detached garden homes can generally be between 32m² and 45m², but they must comply with Building Regulations and the exemption criteria, so every site should be assessed individually.

At Lawless Building & Renovations Ltd, we can guide you through the process from the initial feasibility assessment right through to construction.
