MOTION NO. 90

MOTION: Councillor T. Costello

To request a small fund be made available each year to each ACA for approved conservation projects

REPORT:

National Architectural Conservation Grant schemes have been provided since 2000 to provide financial support to owners of protected structures, after some years of no grant funding a new scheme was introduced and launched in 2016 which has run each year since.  The Built Heritage Investment Scheme (BHIS) includes grant funding for works to structures within Architectural Conservation Areas in addition to grant works for Protected Structures.  Details of the BHIS grant scheme are advertised by South Dublin County Council and details are placed on the council website to invite owners/occupiers of protected structures or buildings within ACAs to apply for funding.  The fund is administered and managed by the Councils Architectural Conservation Officer on behalf of the Council.

This motion does not fall within the remit of a County Development Plan.

Recommendation:  It is recommended that this motion is not adopted.
