Bernard Allen

Question:

68 Mr. Allen asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the plans, if any, he has to revoke the regulations within the 1994 planning regulations which allow private residents to offer up to four bedrooms for sale on a bed and breakfast basis without obtaining planning permission. [10479/98]

Minister for the Environment and Local Government (Mr. Dempsey)

I have no proposals to revoke the provisions of the 1994 planning and development regulations which provide that the use of up to four bedrooms in a dwelling house for overnight accommodation is exempted development, provided that no other planning condition or permission is breached by such use.
