Limerick Homeowners Gain Planning Exemption for Common Improvements

Homeowners in Limerick may soon enjoy simplified home expansion, as the government proposes exempting common improvements from planning permission. This includes converting attics, splitting houses, and building cabin-style homes in back gardens. The move aims to support multi-generational households and downsizing, with Minister John Cummins backing the initiative. The new exemption list is set to roll out in a few weeks, potentially unlocking quicker paths to extra homes.
