Mr. Seán Carpenter:

It would be counted as works to the monument. That concept of works is defined under head 2, I think. It means any act and is quite extensive, including demolition, renovation, refurbishment and so on. If a monument is subject to general or special protection, works cannot be carried out unless consent has been given either through a notice procedure or a licence procedure. What we are talking about under head 16 is an automatic environmental impact assessment, EIA, requirement; regardless of what type of demolition or what type of monument we are talking about, if consent is given for whatever reason, then head 16 will specify that an environmental impact assessment will be mandatory.
