Listed Buildings In Ireland
What does listing mean?
Historic buildings are a constant reminder to all of the work
and way of life of earlier generations and a precious resource for future generations
to enjoy.
The country's rich historic and architectural inheritance is
identified and protected through a process of listing. Under the Planning ( Northern
Ireland) Order 1991 the Department of Environment has a statutory duty to compile
lists of buildings of special architectural or historic interest.
Listing
ensures that the architectural and historic interest of the building is considered
carefully before any alterations to the exterior or interior can be sanctioned.
It aims to achieve proper care and maintenance and to ensure that such buildings
continue to be used and enjoyed.
The lists comprise a wide variety of
structures - from mansions to simple cottages and bridges to post boxes.
Buildings can be listed because of:
• age
• rarity
• architectural merit or method of construction
The older a
building the more likely it is to be listed.
