Irish Legal News<\/em> writes:<\/p>\n

Strict architectural heritage protection laws could be reviewed in order to encourage renovation of derelict urban properties, according to reports.<\/p>\n

Housing Minister Darragh O\u2019Brien\u00a0is considering a review of Part IV of the\u00a0Planning and Development Act 2000<\/em>, according to\u00a0The Irish Times<\/em><\/a>.<\/p>\n

Mr O\u2019Brien blamed preservation orders for vacant Georgian buildings, comparing the Irish system, where buildings are either protected structures or not, unfavourably with the \u201cfour-stage process\u201d in Britain.<\/p>\n

Speaking to\u00a0Irish Legal News<\/em>, barrister and qualified architectural historian\u00a0Deirdre Conroy\u00a0said the \u201cquite vague\u201d legislation should be reviewed.<\/p>\n

Ms Conroy, who was elected to\u00a0Dublin City Council\u00a0last May, said Dublin was falling behind other cities like Paris and London which have better balanced the need to preserve historic buildings with the needs of local residents.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe need to preserve what is left and use our city property for living and working in day and night,\u201d she said. \u201cEvery capital city has a combination of this \u2013 not Dublin.\u201d<\/p>\n

Ms Conroy said: \u201cI know from my 20 years of dealing with ACA and RPS matters that the guidelines, not just the legislation, run rings around people trying to revive and resolve historic property.\u201d<\/p>\n

She said she knew of examples where \u201cpeople who are not looking for a house from the state, who are trying to build their own house on their own land, are not allowed because a Victorian dwelling is nearby behind the trees\u201d.<\/p>\n
