A planning application involving a protected structure is generally made in the same way as any other planning application.  However, additional information must be submitted with the application.

When submitting a planning application on a protected structure the following information could be included, unless advised otherwise by the Conservation Division:

Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment
An Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment carried out by an RIAI accredited conservation architect or qualified professional with specialised conservation expertise.

This report could include the following:

• Survey drawings and plans
• Historical appraisal.
• Detailed room-by-room architectural inventory and associated photographic record (associated to report and survey drawings to give location of image). Three colour copies of photographic record to be submitted.
• Detailed description of the overall development of the structures, noting all the building phases. For instance, if the layout has changed, or if partitions were inserted in the rooms, these alterations should be highlighted in a separate colour. This should be cross-referenced to the annotated survey drawings and photographs.
• Condition assessment.
• Detailed description of the relationship of the structure to its setting, noting the evolution of the site, its impact on the landscape, ancillary structures and their relationship to the principal structure in question
• Impact assessment of the proposed development
• Re-rendering, re-plastering of internal walls – giving proposed mortar mixes in each case.
• Details of and installation of all proposed plumbing and electrical provisions
• Method of removal/insertion of partitions
• Method of opening of new openings and rationale for this development.
• Conservation of original features to satisfy issues, which arise in the condition assessment.
• Written statement describing and justifying the proposed works and the philosophy that informs them.
• A site location plan showing the Protected Structure in its setting, the relationship to its curtilage, and where applicable, the adjoining properties. (Scale: 1:200 or 1:500, as appropriate)
• Survey drawings of existing buildings highlighting original detailing such as joinery, etc. to include floor plans, sections and elevation drawings. (Scale for survey drawings: 1:50; Scale for details 1:20)
• Survey drawings should be colour coded to differentiate different periods of development.
• Scaled drawings of proposed developments.
• Drawings to illustrate new extensions and the extent of alterations to the rear elevation where the new build adjoins it.
• Contextual drawings to show the new build in its setting and how it will impact upon the setting of the Protected Structure.

All planning applications for works to a Protected Structure must include an Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment in accordance with Appendix B of the Architectural Heritage Protection Guidelines to assist in the assessment of proposals. This report should be prepared by an accredited conservation architect or equivalent (a list of suitably qualified professionals is available on the Irish Georgian Society and RIAI websites).  The report should a) outline the significance of the building b) include a detailed survey of the building identifying all surviving original/early features and associated photographic survey c) include a method statement and specification of works and d) details of proposed works should be clearly identified on the accompanying drawings by way of colour coding and/or annotated notes to distinguish clearly between the existing structure and proposed works.
