QUESTION NO.15

QUESTION: Councillor Joanna Tuffy

To the ask the CEO for an update on Airlie House and its condition as a protected structure. Has there been any recent liaison with the owners to see what is planned for the house?

REPLY:

The Councils Architectural Conservation Officer had been in contact with the owners of Airlie House during December 2024 with regard to the current condition of the roof after vandalism and unauthorised removal of the roofing tiles.  Quintain (owners) had been liaising with the Councils Architectural Conservation Officer in agreeing on a suitable solution and remedial repairs to prevent any further deterioration to the roof and structure.  The necessary roof repairs were completed prior to the Christmas break and the structure is now watertight. 

The Councils Architectural Conservation Officer has been in contact with Quintain with regard to the sale of Airlie House and she has been informed that the sale is still progressing and that legal contracts are with the purchasers’ solicitors.

With regard to the future use, planning permission was sought under Reg. Ref. SDZ24A/0022W for a new vehicular entrance to support the future reuse of the property.  Planning permission has been granted and Quintain are finalising pre-commencement conditions for submission to SDCC and expect to commence works in the near future.
