MEETING OF SOUTH DUBLIN COUNTY COUNCIL

Monday, April 10, 2017

QUESTION NO.23

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask for a report into what is allowed outside and hanging from shopfronts in the County and ask what would it take to review this?

REPLY:

There is no specific legislation governing what may or may not hang from shopfronts, either under Planning and Development Legislation or current Regulations.  Planning legislation addresses development works on, in or under land and any material change of use of land.  Goods displayed from a shop front therefore does not constitute development and planning enforcement action is not therefore open to the Council.

Material alteration to the appearance of a structure presently relates to advertising signs or structures.
