    Hi. Just wondering if you have had any joy in kick-starting your Tiny home project? I don't know if you're aware but a Tiny house pilot project has been given the go ahead for Naas, Co Kildare. Councils and housing bodies are going to have to start looking into alternative housing projects to allow for people that cannot afford/don't want to be tied to a massive mortgage or for those who wish to downsize and live a simpler life within their means. This pilot project could be the start of something positive in Ireland. I've been following the tiny house movement in America, Canada and Australia and it is fantastic, although it may not appeal to everyone. You do need to work with local authorities and planning, otherwise it is illegal. And also depends on what services you will require. I don't think it is recognised here legally in Ireland to live off grid self sufficiently (solar panels and composting toilet etc). But I do think with this new alternative tiny housing project given the green light, that it may start opening up for new planning regulations.

    Best of luck!

    Not quite a go ahead yet anyway.

    "Naas could be considered for a Tiny House Development pilot project for social housing.

    A motion was tabled by Cllr Sorcha O'Niell at this month's area meeting, which was held on Tuesday, October 17 last, requesting that Naas be considered for a pilot project for sustainable tiny house development and that this pilot project be permitted for inclusion in the Naas Local Area Plan review due to commence in October 2017.

    The meeting heard that there are no proposals under consideration by the Housing Section to develop social housing using a Tiny House model.

    It was noted that the council was not aware of any initiatives from the Department of Housing to support Tiny House Development for social housing.    "
