"Protected Structures in Dublin have NO automatic planning exemption rights. Even minor alterations require a Section 57 Declaration or full conservation planning permission. Works must employ breathable lime mortars, reversible structural steel, and preserve historical brickwork."
Dublin's Victorian and Edwardian houses in Ranelagh, Rathmines, Ballsbridge, and Clontarf represent some of Ireland's finest residential architecture. However, modernising them requires specialist craft skills that typical residential builders lack.
A legal declaration issued by Dublin City Council's Conservation Officer detailing which specific interior and exterior works can be carried out without materially affecting the architectural heritage of the structure.
Yes, but only with conservation architect oversight and planning permission. Often, lightweight structural openings with framed downstands are favored over full-width beam removals to preserve ceiling roses and cornicing.
Consultations conducted Monday to Friday across South Dublin, North Dublin, Kildare, and Wicklow. Guaranteed itemized fixed-price RIAI tenders.
