Planning Applications in the Curtailage of a National Monument

Does the Newspaper ad and site notice in the case of an appilcation in the Curtailiage of a National Monument have to make reference to this fact i.e. is a National Mouument deemed to be a Protected Structure – anyone know?

I am almost sure that they don’t but the definition curtilage is not really used with national monuments as they are protected under the National Monuments Acts as opposed to the planning acts.

With National monuments you have an exclusion zone development within the hatched(usually circular) line requires ministerial consent.

The problem often is that applications are made in a field between the road and the monument having a substantial impact but not breaching any rules.

If you are concerned that is a monument of regional importance talk to An Taisce.

I always find the folks in the Custom House very helpful in these kind of situations. Have a scooch around http://www.environ.ie for a relevant phone number.

Many thanks.
