Minister of State Burke facilitates prompt commencement of construction work in accordance with lifting of Covid restrictions
Minister for Planning and Local Government Peter Burke has today signed the Building Control (Commencement Notices) (Residential and Childcare Services Construction) Regulations 2021. There have been a significant number of valid Commencement Notices (CNs) submitted to Building Control Authorities over recent months which could not commence during the period of Covid restrictions.
There are over 4,400 dwellings associated with the valid commencement notices to which these Regulations will apply, according to Minister Burke, and the regulations signed today allow a person to commence these works without submitting a new Commencement Notice, provided that the works commence not later than 26 April 2021.
