New housing regulations will include the right to build your own home in rural areas.
The measure was thought to be under threat based on the environmental impact of one-off builds.
The new guidelines clearly will state that those who have a need to build their own home in rural Ireland will be permitted to do so if they have a clear economic or social need. An economic need could be those who work in rural Ireland, whether this be on a farm or in a rural-based enterprise.
The new guidelines will be released for public consultation before Christmas.
Minister of State for Planning and Local Government and Longofrd-Westmeath TD Peter Burke says planning authorities can exercise their own discretion in order to "get the balance right".
