Government ‘exploring’ planning exemption for outdoor bike sheds in homes

THE DEPARTMENT OF housing has said it is exploring the idea of a planning exemption for small outdoor bike storage sheds for houses.

Bacik wrote to the Minister for Housing this week and urged the government to amend the planning laws so that homeowners can install covered bike shelters in their homes in order to make it easier for people who want to cycle to do so. She pointed to the 2021 Walking and Cycling Index, which found that walking and cycling takes up to 330,000 cars off the road in Dublin alone.

Bacik described this as an “arduous process” with “inevitable delays” and said that the law should be amended to allow for what is a “very small structural change to a home”.
