These Regulations amend the Local Government (Planning and Development) Regulations, 1977 so as to increase from 18 square metres to 23 square metres, the maximum floor area of an extension to the rear of a dwelling house, which can normally be provided without planning permission. The Regulations also provide that certain porches outside an external door of a dwellinghouse will not normally require planning permission.
