Dáil Éireann Debate, Thursday - 3 June 2004
191 Mr. N. O’Keeffe asked the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if all regulations in relation to the building of dwelling houses will be made available to applicants in the planning documentation. [17092/04]
View answerIn order to improve public awareness of the requirements of the building regulations, circular letter PD 3/2003, issued by my Department on 14 April 2003, I requested that all planning authorities should issue a copy of departmental leaflet, PL11 — Guide to the Building Control System, to every recipient of planning permission for housing developments. A similar request was also made to An Bord Pleanála, in connection with the notification of the grant of planning permission, on appeal, for housing developments. I am satisfied that leaflet PL11 provides adequate guidance to house builders of their obligations under the building regulations.
