Housing Act, 1969

Non-application of Act in certain cases.

9.—(1) This Act shall not apply to the demolition in whole or in part or the use otherwise than for human habitation of any habitable house where—

(a) a planning authority or the Minister has, before the passing of this Act, decided to grant a permission or approval under section 26 of the Act of 1963 for development involving the demolition or change of use, or

(b) the demolition or change of use is required or authorised under or in pursuance of any enactment or for any statutory purpose.

(2) A permission under this Act shall not be required in relation to the use otherwise than for human habitation of part of any habitable house for, but only for, so long as the house is principally used as a dwelling and the change of use does not cause to reside elsewhere a person who, immediately before the change of use, was ordinarily resident in such house.
