  • Chapter 15 Architectural Heritage
    Roughan & O’Donovan – AECOM Alliance N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge Road Project Consulting Engineers Environmental Impact Assessment Report Chapter 15 Architectural Heritage 15.1 Introduction This report has been produced as an assessment of the potential effects of the N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge Proposed Road Development on built heritage. The building survey examines forty-eight structures on or near the line of the proposed road and its junctions and local roads. Each of these is assessed for its built heritage significance and for the potential effect of the proposed road on the structure itself or on its setting. Where a potential impact on the structure is identified mitigation is recommended were necessary and in some instances structures that are of significant age, but are not of heritage significance, it is recommended that these be recorded before they are removed. 15.2 Background The route was inspected for the purposes of preparing this report on 13th March, 14th and 15th April, 12th May and 21st June 2015, and 19th January 2016, on which occasions the photographs incorporated in the report were taken and the buildings and other structures along the route examined to prepare the descriptions contained therein.
