Saint Brigid's Hospital , Ardee , Co. Louth

What’s proposed

permission for development at St. Brigid’s Hospital, Ardee, Co. Louth, which is listed as a protected structure under the current Louth County Development Plan (RPS no. Lhs017-038) and listed on the NIAH (ref. 13823032). It is proposed to carry out refurbishment works to the 3 no. building blocks i.e. the left wing, central block and the right wing. The proposed works consist of: (a) the careful removal of the existing original timber windows on the central block clock tower and non-original metal and pvc windows from the remainder of the building blocks as mentioned above, (b) the installation of replacement timber windows to the front face of the central block and slimline, triple-glazed thermally broken aluminium windows, powder coated white, to the rest of the building. It is proposed to replicate, as much as practicable, the original fenestration that can be gleaned from historical photographs. Where these are not available, it shall be assumed that the fenestration of the replacement windows would have replicated the windows that were being replaced. (c) Remove existing external doors and replace with new hardwood door to the main entrance of the central block and high-performance aluminium doors elsewhere (d) carry out all associated works to make good reveals, heads, cills etc. in accordance with best conservation practice

Protected structures and architectural conservation areas — what needs permission, the free section 57 declaration, and what the register shows368 applications naming a protected structure were decided across the Greater Dublin councils in 12 months and 88% were granted. What being on the Record of Protected Structures means, what an ACA takes away from the ordinary exemptions, how to get a section 57 declaration, and what buyers should check.
Further information requests on a planning application — 21% of Dublin files, six months to reply21% of applications received by Dublin councils in the year to September 2026 drew a further information request. What the council is asking, the six-month deadline, what "significant" FI triggers, and what it does to neighbours' rights.
An Bord Pleanála appeal, now An Coimisiún Pleanála — four weeks, €220, and a 25% reversal rateThe Commission reversed the council in 25% of the 1,195 Dublin-area appeals decided in the two years to September 2026. Who can appeal, the four weeks, the €220 fee, why 240 appeals a year fail on procedure, and the odds by direction.
Certificate of compliance with planning permission — what the architect's opinion covers and what it does notRetention applications were 17% of everything lodged in the GDA over 12 months, and a fifth of those decided were refused. What a certificate or opinion on compliance with planning permission says, who signs it, the Law Society and RIAI forms, and the gaps a buyer should close from the register.
