R23 Demolition of Buildings in Conservation Areas

Within Conservation Areas consent will not be granted for the demolition of any buildings or structures in the designated Conservation Areas, unless the character or appearance of the Conservation Area is thereby preserved or enhanced (whether or not such works form part of a redevelopment scheme).

Consent will not be granted for demolition without acceptable detailed plans for the redevelopment or landscaping of the site. Conditions will be imposed in order to ensure that a contractual obligation has been entered into to undertake the proposed works prior to the commencement of demolition and that planning permission has been granted.
