Malcolm Noonan: We will look at that again. In regard to the conditions, they have to be enforceable. That is important. It is not the function of planners in local authorities to calculate embodied carbon. Obviously, in terms of a development that is brought forward, it is an important skill and competency within the profession. The architectural profession and the building profession will evolve over...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Malcolm Noonan: Amendment No. 46 amends section 7 to clarify that a change in use of land or maritime site includes the addition of a use for the selling of services. The provision, as currently worded, only refers to the selling of goods. It is appropriate that the provision is amended to clarify that using land or a maritime site for the selling of services is also a change of use. On that basis I am...

The Deputy proposes to amend section 8 with regard to short-term lettings by deleting subsection (4)(a), which provides that the section does not apply to lettings, including short-term lettings, outside rent pressure zones.

This response does not exclude properties outside rent pressure zones. What is proposed will apply properties in rural areas that are inside and outside rent pressure zones.
