In most instances the space belongs to the management company, which in turn is owned by all of the owners….
You have to be very careful about this. Exempted developments in relation to a house usually means directly in association with the house. For instance exempted extensions must be behind the house. A technical definition that is easy to overlook for instance where there is a garage. If the extension is behind the garage it is not technically behind the house and as such no longer exempt. Similarly the exemptions for garden related structures assumes the standard suburban situation not fields or spaces next door. If there is any doubt you could seek a certificate of exemption from the local authority but this takes about 2 months usually. Even then it may find there is no exemption which kicks you back to making a planning application regardless. The shortcut to this would be to contact the local planner and ask their direct opinion which they are obliged to do. Curtilage is normally the conditions in which the house is set including the boundary walls, fences, hedges and other defined elements. It will not include clearly defined separate properties even if empty.

http://www.12publishers.com/njba_culture.htmIf Germany can rebuild most of its historice urban centres with a high degree of autehticity after the war to make up for the cultural destruction of that conflict surely it is possible ot reconstruct fitzwilliam street to make up for the cultural destruction of unbridled urban reconstruction.
“The Glucksman Recovery Fund” Is this a joke? Is it not insured? If not one wonders about the logic of building in a flood plain if insurance was not possible and worse if insurance was not available to build a basement, or is it because there is a basement that insurance was not possible. Questions questions……….
Given the controversy around the minimum requirements for consideration I wonder how this list came about.

I am surpised these had the turnover required.Grafton Architects Ltd & O’Mahony Pike Architects Ltd,
I am also surprised they have the turnover these days.DEGW UK Ltd & BDSP Ltd
DEGW was liquidated and shortly afterwards bought out by Davies Langdon and I quote “we won’t be doing architecture it does not fit our business model” see http://www.itmps.co.uk/digitaleditions/buildingDesign140809etvq03.html DEGW are gogin to concentrate on space planning and office research……Henry J Lyons & Partners Architects with Gilroy McMahon Architects
why other than turnover…….?Rafael Vinóly Architects PC – Agressively expanded into the UK with oversized arts centre in Colchester.

Interesting that no clear heritage package regarding possible reintroduction of georgian terrace.
anyone for air tight houses with poorly maintained heat recovery units. multiply this by 100 in ten years…..
Does the “new” tower oversail Dublin City Council property – the River and as such does it not fall outside the DDDA juridiciton? At the very least there is a case for a thorough EIS study which encompasses the need to assess the impact from a wide area around the city. Remember the Spire/Spike/Needle embarrasment….
Dump the whole thing, from the sublime (maybe this should be subprime) to the ridiculous.
The wastage of time, effort, talent, the innuendo, the scandal, stacked juries, lost documentation, the awful designs…..
How about running a proper fully international, properly organised and properly researched appropriate brief (rather than the anorexic one that was produced before or even the obese one we see now) with a proper secure and audited process of elimination.
UIA perhaps….
These selected (limited) competitions are certainly not getting anything better out of the so called “big boys” than you would see in open competition.
The current design suffers from overarching belief in a simple form, the icon as building. The “sure” analogy has to go on a T-shirt. Maybe it is so that the DDDA and U2 can finally stop perspiring over this.
I will be interested in knowing how they managed to resolve the restriction that was issued at briefing that underground buildings were unlikely to be allowed given the heritage problem associated with the bedrock/lava fields under the build up known as the “burden”.
Since the N3 is a go, with or without Lismullen how about some solutions in order of preference;
1: Reroute completely (unlikely and you might hit something else)
2: Reroute around Lismullen, the world’s most historic roundabout.
3: Raise the whole of the N3 on columns as it crosses the valley, a technique used to deal with difficult terrain in Europe and an agreed technique in areas like temple bar to preserve the maximum area for archaeology. In addition it could allow continuous archaeological work.So given the above could we have a serious investigation into 3 and put some additional monies into the project to preserve all interests…….
Maybe it is time (well it is probably too late) to get international interest in this. The first thing to do is I believe rename the whole area to link it to bigger issues globally.
I would like to suggest that the Boyne Valley be redesignated as Ireland’s “Valley of the Kings”. Just think of all the discoveries by accident and design in the Egyptian equivallent .
There are interesting parallels in culture everywhere in the world at this time. Woudl Egypt plow a road through their valley of the kings?, sorry I guess they would (Aswan Dam)…. anyway you get my drift.
Maybe the next Indiana Jones/Amanda Croft/Da Vinci Code or other conspiracy could be filmed there.
It would seem sensible to join the two sites establish a new street and design two reasonable sites as opposed to the elephant and the ant.
it is precisely not the ambition to be like UCD in fact it is likely to be a different type of campus altogether.
This is beyond belief……….
Cooley won a competition for City Hall, the best of its era in Dublin, far batter than any of the Gandon works. This is, dare i say an insult…….
BTH, way off beam, you don’t have to be an initiate to “understand” or “appreciate” the finer aspects of architecture. This building is far from being the epitome of Architecture with a big A unless A stands for Attitude or possibly Ambition. However with every Ambition there must be the means by which this might be attained or at least attempted. Too much of this building looks like it wasn’t even on the radar let alone in the office. In case there is a response, yes I have seen it, up close inside and out……
“Frances nuclear waste is only dangerous for 100 hundred years. given that regular waste dumped can take over 150 years to degrade , that is not bad. They have a pretty simple method akin to forests managed on 300 hundred years rotation.” Must be a new form of Physics since most radiological products used in nuclear facilities have half lives of hundreds and thousands of years.
