REPORT:
That this committee agrees to immediately arrange for the necessary securing (if not already done so following representations) of Airlie House, Lucan. Furthermore, providing a report to members, as to this councils responsibility, in its care of protected structures generally and detailing any planned repair works at this site
A Warning Letter was issued by SDCC Planning Enforcement on recommendation by the Councils Architectural Conservation Officer. A Warning Letter issued to the owner/s of Airlie House with a timeframe of 4 weeks to respond.
A representative of the owner/s has been in contact directly with Planning Enforcement Section and the Councils Architectural Conservation Officer to inform them that the owner/s have engaged a Conservation Architect who has carried out a full inspection and condition assessment of the property.
This information along with identified works required to safeguard the protected structure were submitted within the timeframe of the Warning Letter.
The Report submitted includes;
- confirmation of the condition of Airlie House,
- steps taken to secure the structure, and
- a statement of works to address any damage
The details in the report and in particular the scope of works proposed have been fully assessed by the Councils Architectural Conservation Officer. She is satisfied with the proposed works and approach taken. A meeting with the owner/s representative and their Conservation Architect has been scheduled within the next two weeks when all interested parties will be available. The Draft Schedule of Work and Methodology/specifications will be discussed in detail and agreed then, so that works can commence.
In the meantime, the site boundaries and perimeter of the building have been secured further, as a means of restricting unauthorised access.
