Homeowners undertaking Facilities Management projects in Tipperary should be aware of local regulations. For significant alterations, demolitions, or changes to property use, you might need planning permission from Tipperary County Council. Even minor improvements like certain extensions or garage conversions could require it. Always consider a pre-planning meeting for clarity.
Furthermore, several SEAI grants are available for energy efficiency upgrades, crucial for many Tipperary homes, especially older housing stock. These include:
- Individual Energy Upgrade Grants for insulation and heating system upgrades, eligible for homes built before 2006.
- The Warmer Homes Scheme, offering fully funded upgrades for eligible low-income households, though waiting times can be substantial.
Remember, a commencement notice is generally required before starting work that has received planning permission.
