Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: ..., scientific, social or technical interest, I want to include a further subparagraph that would state, "(iii) the surrounding context of the structure.". The best way of explaining this is with respect to Moore Street and the fact it is not just the building or attachment to the building but also the surrounding structure and streetscape, particularly where it is of enormous historic...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: I understand the point Deputy Ó Broin is making. He mentioned Moore Street as an example. I know it well. Deputy Ó Broin is seeking to add text similar to that in section 9. While the setting would generally be taken into account it should not be a restriction. For example, a development could be in the grounds of a protected structure and we have seen many of these in many of...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Eoin Ó Broin: It is important to remember that it is not carte blanche. It is only where the character of the surrounding context and structure would be materially affected. It is quite limited. In the case of Moore Street we know what we are talking about because generally speaking it is the alleyways. The alleyways are of particular historical significance as they are how the volunteers made their...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: I understand the point well, and I understand Moore Street as an example. I assume we are not using Moore Street as a mechanism to change the Bill. It and the battlefield site are very important. I know the area well and I know the history of it very well also, as I am sure all Deputies here do. With regard to the definition, while we could say it is the alleyways in this example for many...

Eoin Ó Broin: ...to the area in terms of amenities and facilities for local communities, as well as tourism for those of us who live elsewhere in the State or the city. A state-of-the-art historic monument on the Moore Street site, by way of example, would be a driver of economic regeneration. The private sector has had decades to regenerate that part of the city, as the Minister knows, and has failed...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Paul McAuliffe: It is always difficult speaking about a general provision in legislation and then starting to discuss a specific site. We are not discussing a specific proposal for Moore Street, though I accept that is a possible application of it. The term "surrounding context of the structure" is very broad. My concern is it probably does not give a defined enough application of what Deputy Ó Broin...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: I have said what needs to be said from our perspective. I understand the objective. It may be unhelpful to use a specific site as an example. In Moore Street, there have been many changes since the Rising, many of which people would not have welcomed. What can be retained now that was relevant in 1916, or prior to that with the original buildings, which are of architectural merit as well?...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ..., because we respect the context of the surrounding area and its integrity. There are proposals on protected structures that I have argued about with the Minister many times in the Dáil. I argued that Moore Street should be protected. It is not the only area where the context is lost once you start surrounding a building with new buildings. Unless the relevant building has...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...the structure itself. The buildings are interfering with the context and I gave a number of examples. If the Hammerson plan, which has been endorsed by the Tánaiste, is allowed to go ahead in Moore Street, the changes in that plan would have the effect of changing the context of the street itself, rather than protecting it. The national monument as it existed under this Government...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Darragh O'Brien: ...previous break. My view is these would be matters for decision by a planning authority at planning application stage. I discussed with Deputies Ó Broin and Cian O'Callaghan the very example of Moore Street and how, since the events of the Rising, that street has changed and its character has changed as well but we need to protect the national monument and we have gone through all of...

Select Committee on Housing, Planning and Local Government: Planning and Development Bill 2023: Committee Stage (Resumed) (21 Feb 2024)

Aengus Ó Snodaigh: ...the authority have a duty to have regard to the context and integrity of a structure, whether it agrees with my version or not. The Minister does not agree with my version of what is happening on Moore Street but he has to have regard to it if I put legislation in front of him. At the moment, I also have the luxury of making a submission to the planning authority. What we are trying to...
