14.4 - Zoning Objectives and Reuse/ Redevelopment of Protected Structures

Dublin City Council actively encourages uses that are compatible with the character of protected structures. In certain limited cases, and to ensure the long-term viability of a protected structure, it may be appropriate not to stringently apply city-wide zoning restrictions including site development standards, provided the protected structure is being restored to the highest standard; the special interest, character and setting of the building is protected; and, the use and development is consistent with conservation policies and the proper planning and sustainable development of the area.
