Ref Section 6.9.1 Rural Housing Policies and Local Need Criteria Amendment 6.8

I support the idea of streamlining our planning eligibility, bringing it inline with our neighbouring Kildare County Council, for persons from our rural areas who wish to build on their family plot. I believe that the hinterland of our villages is an important part of our community and one-off rural housing, when built on appropriate sites, will help keep our rural areas alive and thriving.
