The Exempted Development Regulations, 1967, provide generally for exemption from planning control of poultry houses in rural areas but the exemption does not apply in certain specified circumstances, e.g., a poultry house which it was proposed to construct 300 feet from a public road would not be exempted if it would be sited within 100 feet of a dwellinghouse and the consent of the owner and occupier were not obtained. The exemptions scheduled in the regulations are also subject to general restrictions under Article 3 which might affect the particular type of case in mind, e.g., where the project involves opening a new access to a public road. The procedure for deciding any question as to what, in any particular circumstances, is exempted development is laid down in section 5 of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act, 1963.
