Vol. 506 No. 2

Written Answers. - Planning Regulations.

Richard Bruton

Question:

296 Mr. R. Bruton asked the Minister for the Environment and Local Government the consideration, if any, he will give to modifying the planning exemption for the height of a wall built through the side boundary of a site where it will be within a very short distance from the window of an adjoining residence resulting in the blocking out of all daylight from the residents. [14942/99]

I have no proposals to amend the domestic planning exemptions in this way. However, the planning regulations are without prejudice to any actionable case in law a person may have where an acquired right to light is severely obstructed by construction work on neighbouring land.
