Description

LAW: PROTECTED STRUCTURE: Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended) Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended) - Part 8 Proposal: Pursuant to the requirements of the above, notice is hereby given of intent for redevelopment/repurposing of St. Werburgh’s Church, Werburgh Street to conserve and restore the church, which is a protected structure. The aim is to reopen the disused building to the public as a vibrant cultural and arts venue while continuing to facilitate occasional religious services. Works will include creating a new entrance to the building from 10 Castle Street, Dublin 8. The proposal has undergone Appropriate Assessment Screening in accordance with Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and screening for Environmental Impact Assessment under the EIA Directive 2011/92/EU, as amended by Directive 2014/52/EU. In accordance with Article 81 of the Planning & Development Regulations 2001, as amended, the Planning Authority has made a determination and concluded that: (a) The proposed development, either individually or in combination with other plans and projects, is not likely to have a significant effect on any European site(s) and therefore a Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment is not required. (b) There is no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development and that the proposed development is not of a class set out under Schedule 5 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001, as amended, and therefore does not require an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR). Any person may, within 4 weeks from the date of publication of this notice, apply to An Bord Pleanála for a screening determination as to whether the development would be likely to have significant effects on the environment.
