Question 570: To ask the Minister for the Environment, Heritage and Local Government if there is an acceptable distance where a dwelling house or a housing development should be built away from an existing cattle shed or other farm building; if it is acceptable that such a housing development would be built within 20 meters of an existing intensive cattle yard in a rural area; and if he will make a statement on the matter.

Specific distance requirements for residential, or other development from agricultural establishments are not provided for under planning legislation. It is a matter for each planning authority, when making decisions in relation to planning applications for their functional area, to reach a determination in each case in accordance with the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
