8.31 Cork City Council will seek to engage with key stakeholder groups, including public representa- tives, building owners and the public to develop the most appropriate response for the protection of specific buildings, groups of buildings and historic areas.
National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH)
8.29 Under Section 53 of the Planning Acts, the relevant Minister may make recommendations to Cork City Council to consider the designation of the buildings and gardens listed in the National Inventory of Architectural Heritage as Protected Structures. 8.30 The City Council will have regard to the ministerial recommendations and will consider the structures listed in the NIAH for protection, by designation of Protected Structures, by the adoption of Architectural Conservation Areas to protect groups of buildings, or by whatever other means the Council considers will most effectively protect the architectural heritage of the City.
Architectural Conservation Areas
8.32 Cork City Council will seek to preserve and enhance the special character of areas by the designation of Architectural Conservation Areas under Section 81 of the Planning and Development Act. Historic urban areas and landscapes can be also designated for protection as Architectural Conservation Areas. The special character of such areas is described in the relevant ‘statement of character’ in Volume 3 of this Plan. Changes that materially affect the character of an Architectural Conservation Area will require planning permission.
