MEETING OF TALLAGHT AREA COMMITTEE

MOTION NO.5

MOTION: Councillor M. Duff

"This area committee calls upon the Chief Executive to apply for funds from the Built Heritage Investment Scheme 2021 or the Historic Structures Fund 2021 for the restoration of Tynan's Cross which is at the junction of the Belgard Road and Ballymount Road. The structure badly needs restoration, as the writing on the Cross is badly faded and is now almost illegible."

REPORT:

The request is noted and please be advised that there is ongoing cross departmental communication in relation to the funding opportunities under the BHIS & HSF, including this structure and its management in SDCC.
With regard to applying for BHIS it would be up to the relevant Council dept/section who has responsibility for the maintenance of the structure to apply to the architectural conservation section in Planning under the scheme and submit all prepared required details under the terms and conditions i.e. method statement with regard to proposed works. 
The deadline for applications to be submitted to the Department for both grant schemes (BHIS & HSF) has now been extended due to current lock down restrictions. Therefore, the architectural conservation section in Planning has extended the deadline for applications to Wednesday 24th February 2021.
