http://www.dlrcoco.ie/sites/default/files/atoms/files/exemption_cert.pdfThere are two provisions under the Planning and Development Act which enable owners of Protected Structures to find out what works they can and cannot do without planning permission.  These are:

Section 57 Declaration LINK to Section 57 application form

Dun Laoghaire Rathdown County Council can issue, on request from an owner/occupier, a Section 57 Declaration, which will clarify works which will or will not affect the character of the Protected Structure and consequently whether planning permission will be required. We advise that you have proposed works in mind when applying for a Section 57, the more detailed the information received regarding the proposed works the more specific and useful the Declaration will be.

Section 5 Declaration LINK To Section 5 Application Form Under a Section 5 Declaration it is possible to determine if certain developments are considered exempted development, and therefore not subject to planning permission. This Declaration can apply to both an unprotected and a protected structure. A fee of EURO 80.00 applies to this Declaration.
