QUESTION NO. 14
QUESTION: Councillor E. Ó Broin
To ask the Chief Executive for an update on NCBH19 Objective 9 from the County Development Plan regarding investigations into potential new additions to the Register of Protected Structures?
REPLY:
NCBH19 Objective 9 is in the South Dublin County Development Plan and reads as follows:
To investigate the merit of including the following on the Record of Protected Structures and where such merit is identified to undertake the necessary public consultation process under the Planning and Development Acts:
- Palmyra House, Whitechurch Road, Rathfarnham, Dublin 16.
- Friarstown House and outbuildings, Bohernabreena, Co. Dublin D24 F890.
- SIAC Bridge, Monastery Road, Clondalkin, Dublin 22.
- Old Milestone on north-west side of Templeogue Road Set in front of the modern boundary wall of No. 211 Templeogue Road, Dublin 6W.
- Fort (or Callaghan’s) Bridge, Kiltipper / Friarstown Upper / Ballinascorney Lower, Dublin 24.
- Granite Boundary Stone outside Nos. 50 / 52, Whitehall Road, Dublin 12.
- Road sign Bothair An Racadair, Whitehall Road
Initial assessments have been undertaken of all of the structures and buildings listed above. All have an initial recommendation for inclusion with the exception of the road sign at Whitehall Road. However, a fuller understanding of the rationale for inclusion and exclusion is required in some instances to ensure a robust process to aid public consultation under the section 55 process in the 2000 Planning Acts. Further advancement of this objective will be subject to competing priorities on the Planning work programme but it is hoped to have this work completed in advance of the formal pre-draft stage for the next County Development Plan.
