8.26 Curtilage is normally taken to be the parcel of grounds associated with the protected structure. Attendant grounds are those areas that may not be immediate to the protected structure but are associated with them. Both the curtilage and attendant grounds of a Protected Structure are included for their protection within the definition of a Protected Structure as they are defining elements of the structure. 8.27 Historic landscapes and gardens associated with Protected Structures are also an important amenity and contribute to the setting and character of Protected Structures. Cork City Council will seek to protect these unique historic gardens (including walled gardens), landscapes and settings from inappropriate development. There are also remnant historic landscapes that do not relate to protected structures that are built heritage assets of significance that Cork City Council will seek to protect. These in general relate to the former grounds of historic houses, some of which have been lost, others are not included on the Record of Protected Structures.
8.28 Development which would not conflict with the general planning objectives for the area in which a Protected Structure is located will be considered on its merits and on the impact such development would have on the character of the Protected Structure.
