§ Mr. Bradfordasked the Secretary of State for Northern Ireland if he will bring forward criteria, to which property owners would have to adhere if they planned to convert houses into flats, which would include reference to a minimum number of levels, rooms and toilet facilities.
§ Mr. Concannon,pursuant to his reply [Official Report, 16th February 1976; Vol. 905, c. 494], gave the following information:
It is difficult to lay down general criteria which could fairly and reasonably be applied in all cases. Anyone considering a conversion can consult the Divisional Planning Office on the planning aspects and the Housing Executive on conditions relating to a grant.
