MOTION NO. 100

MOTION: Councillor R. McMahon

Section 3.5.2 NCBH 19 Objective 5 To insert the word "very" to read To prohibit demolition and inappropriate alterations of Protected Structures unless in very exceptional circumstances.

REPORT:

NCBH 19 objective 5 states “to prohibit demolition and inappropriate alterations of Protected Structures unless in exceptional circumstances”.   

The motion has amended the objective to state: “to prohibit demolition and inappropriate alterations of Protected Structures unless in very exceptional circumstances”. 

This wording reflects the Planning and Development Act 2000, as amended, and the Architectural Heritage Protection Guidelines 2011 which states that the demolition of a Protected Structure will only be considered in ‘exceptional circumstances’.  Notwithstanding this, it is considered that this motion is acceptable.  

Objective to be amended to read: “to prohibit demolition and inappropriate alterations of Protected Structures unless in very exceptional circumstances”. 

Recommendation: It is recommended that this motion is adopted. 

“To prohibit demolition and inappropriate alterations of Protected Structures unless in very exceptional circumstances”.
