PPS 7 Addendum Residential Extensions and Alterations·Page 7·1.2
Value of Extensions and Alterations
Extensions and alterations improve residential property by modernising older stock, reducing demand for new land, and bringing properties up to minimum standards for modern living.
The Department recognises the value of extensions and alterations in improving residential property as this not only leads to the modernisation and revitalisation of older stock, but can also reduce demand for more land for new homes. It is also acknowledged that extensions may be required in some instances to bring a house up to a standard that provides the minimum amenities for modern day living.
