The proposed regulatory changes for building apartments are intended to stimulate construction and significantly reduce costs by €100,000 per unit. Current regulations limit one-bedroom apartments to 50% of developments and studio apartments to a maximum of 25%, with specific size requirements. New proposals aim to eliminate these restrictions, setting a minimum studio size of 32 square meters and standardizing dual-aspect unit requirements to 25%. Furthermore, local authorities will not impose their own rules, thus enabling greater flexibility in housing development and planning authority acceptances.
The overhaul of building regulations aims to boost construction and reduce costs, potentially saving €100,000 per apartment unit. Current limitations restrict the number of one-bedroom and studio apartments, influencing development size.
Current regulations allow only 50% one-bedroom apartments and no more than 25% studio apartments, limiting flexibility in housing development. Minimum sizes for units are also in place.
Upcoming changes will lift restrictions on one-bedroom apartments and studio sizes, reducing studio minimums from 37 square metres to 32 square metres and eliminating the 25% cap on studio units.
The new regulations will standardize requirements, setting a single limit of 25% for dual-aspect units and removing local authority restrictions on apartment typology, ultimately aiming for increased housing flexibility.
