Overview
A Section 57 declaration is made under Section 57 of the Planning and Development Act 2000. It confirms which works to a protected structure would, or would not, materially affect the character of the structure or any element of it that contributes to its special interest. We prepare the supporting assessment and documentation so owners know where they stand before any work begins.
Our assessment considers the nature, extent, and context of the works, offering clarity and certainty before project commencement. All declarations are based on expert knowledge of legislation, conservation guidelines, and local authority requirements.
