    from grant guidelines::

    http://www.agriculture.gov.ie/forestservice/publications/codeofbestforestpractice/

    Part I

    Landscape page 13

    The minimum distance between afforestation and dwellings or buildings is 60 m, unless the owner agrees to a closer set-back distance. The minimum distance between afforestation and public roads is 20 m for conifer species, and 10 m for broadleaf species. Local Authorities are entitled to evaluate forest developments over 25 ha in area, and any subsequent requirements must be accommodated.

    6.10.3 Dwellings

    • Planting should be set back 60 m from dwellings and associated buildings, unless the owner agrees to a closer set back distance. Set back distance is most critical when a building is surrounded by forest on two sides or more. Where adjoining properties are 0.2 ha or less, planting should be kept back 30 m from the property boundary. See
    FORESTRYANDTHELANDSCAPEGUIDELINES.
    • Planting should not be within 20 m (for conifers) or 10 m (for broadleaves) of a public road, unless otherwise agreed with the Local Authority.

    This may possibly change with the promised possible new upcoming right to light legislation.
