Mr. Gavin Lawlor:

Generally, that would not be the case, in fairness. There are reasons why, in a particular area, one might want unique qualifiers, for example, in respect of height or density, in a particular area, even within Dublin or Galway. These will be subsets of zoning, so to speak. “Residential” should really mean residential, no matter where one is in the country. “Industrial” should mean what is permissible within an industrial zone and should be the same universally. A classic example is in Fingal, where it only allows certain concrete batching plants as standalone entities in a very specific zoning. That restriction does not apply in other planning authorities. One can have a situation where one is focused on a particular zoning if one wants to put in that type of use but, right next door, in South Dublin County Council, the same restriction does not apply.
