SEA Environmental Report for the Draft Cork City Development Plan 2022-2028
Proposed New ACAs o
other local features that contribute to the architectural heritage of the area. In addition to Protected Structures, the Planning and Development Act, 2000 provides the legislative basis for the protection of Architectural Conservation Areas (ACAs). An ACA is a place, area or group of structures or townscape that is of special architectural, historical, archaeological, artistic, cultural, scientific, social or technical interest or value, or contributes to the appreciation of protected structures, whose character it is an objective to preserve in a development plan. The ACA designation requires that planning permission must be obtained before significant works can be carried out to the exterior of a structure in the ACA that might alter the character of the structure or the ACA. There are many existing ACAs designated within the City – these are mapped on Figure 4.19. Existing ACAs included under the 2015-2021 Plan, ACAs included under the 2015-2021 Plan but proposed to be modified under the Draft Plan and Proposed New ACAs under the Draft Plan are listed below: Existing ACAs o Albert Quay o Albert Road o Ballinlough Road (Annville/Ardeevin group) o Bandon Road 38-43 and Lough Road 58-60 o Barrett’s Buildings, off Blarney Street o Bethesda Row, Old Blackrock Road o Bishopstown Park o Blackpool o Castleview Terrace 1-11, Lower Glanmire Road o Coburg Street and Saint Patrick’s Hill o Corporation Buildings, Saint Paul’s Avenue o Douglas Road-Northwest o Former Ford Factory (Marina Commercial Park) o Friar Street o Grattan Hill, Lincoln Place, Hackett’s Terrace and Mahony’s Avenue o Greenmount o Lower Glanmire Road o The Mardyke o Marie Place 1-12, Windmill Road o North Main Street o North Mall/The Marsh o Paul Street o Railway Cottages 1-13, Anglesea Street o Rockboro Road 18-20 o Shandon o South Parish o Vandeville 1-4, Ballinlough Road o Victoria Road o Walsh’s Square, Devonshire Street West Existing ACAs Proposed to be Modified o Blackrock Road o Blarney o Douglas-Donnybrook o Sunday’s Well o University College Cork/College Road/Magazine Road o Wellington Road/Saint Luke’s

The National Inventory of Architectural Heritage (NIAH) is a State initiative under the administration of the Department of Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media and was established on a statutory basis under the provisions of the Architectural Heritage (National Inventory) and Historic Monuments (Miscellaneous Provisions) Act 1999. The purpose of the NIAH is to identify, record, and evaluate the post-1700 architectural heritage of Ireland, uniformly and consistently as an aid in the protection and conservation of the built heritage. NIAH surveys provide the basis for the recommendations of the Minister of Department of Tourism, Culture, Arts, Gaeltacht, Sport and Media to the local authorities for the inclusion of particular structures in their Record of Protected Structures. The NIAH includes historic gardens and designed landscapes. Figure 4.19 shows entries to NIAH within the City and surrounding areas. 4.12.3 Existing Problems The context of archaeological and architectural heritage has changed over time within the City, however no existing conflicts with legislative objectives governing archaeological and architectural heritage have been identified.
