Vol. 429 No. 7
77 Mr. J. Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment if he plans to bring golf courses, caravan parks, and marinas within the scope of the Planning Acts.
Caravan parks constitute development within the meaning of the Planning Acts and, subject to a limited exemption under the Local Government (Planning and Development) Regulations, 1977, require planning permission. Development which relates to a marina and which is located within a planning authority's functional area would, subject to the normal range of exemptions, also require planning permission.
