Background 1.1 Introduction This report comprises an architectural heritage impact assessment (AHIA) on the proposed demolition of No.’s 18-20 Mitchel Street and an adjoining building on Emmet Place, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary to facilitate road widening at the junction of Mitchel Street and Emmet Place and the construction of a car park at Emmet Place. It was prepared by the writer at the request of Tipperary County Council, through the Moore Group, Galway. The buildings are located in an Architectural Conservation Area for Nenagh town. They are not protected structures. To facilitate an assessment of the impact of the proposed demolition of the buildings the report includes a history of the site and a description of the building externally and internally. The significance of the buildings is discussed, including an assessment of their architectural merit and in particular their contribution to the ACA. 1.2 Description of the Site No.’s 18-20 Mitchel Street, Nenagh, comprises three terraced two-bay, three-storey buildings at the north-western end of Mitchel Street, as it adjoins Emmet Street. The building fronting onto Emmet Place which adjoins the rear of No. 20 Mitchel Street, comprises a four-bay, two-storey building. The ACA encompasses the eighteenth/nineteenth century urban streetscapes of Nenagh, which is of the typical market town appearance of the period. The principal streets, including Mitchel Street, are lined with terraces of two and three-storey buildings of Classical appearance, many of which have traditional-style shopfronts, with some surviving in their original form. Immediately to the north-east of the commercial streets are the distinctive remains of Nenagh Castle (RMP TN020-37001, RPS 4). The monumental architecture of the town, exemplified by the fine Courthouse (RPS 5, NIAH 22305007) in Banba Square and also by the Church of St. Mary of the Rosary (RPS 71, NIAH 22305008), is located to the north of the commercial centre. This area in the northern section of the town, including Banba Square and O’Rahilly Street, is of particular architectural interest, having other buildings of note, including the former prison complex, noting the fine prison gatehouse (RPS 41, NIAH 22305006) Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment 4 18-20 Mitchel Street and Emmet Place, Nenagh, Co. Tipperary. and the governor’s house (RPS 39, NIAH 22305003) and primary (RPS 42) and secondary schools and St. Mary’s Chapel (RPS 70, NIAH 22305009). 1.3 Architectural Report No.’s 18-20 Mitchel Street and Emmet Place are located in an Architectural Conservation Area (ACA). An Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment is required under Part IV of the Local Government Planning and Development Act 2000, in advance of the proposed road realignment. This report has been carried out in consultation with Appendix B of the Architectural Heritage Protection Guidelines for Planning Authorities, Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government, 2004. The brief for the architectural report is an analysis of the existing structures to be affected by the proposed development and an impact assessment of proposed changes on the Architectural Conservation Area (ACA). A site visit was carried out on 3rd August, 2019. Illus. 1 Site Location Map. © Government of Ireland. Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment 5 18-20 Mitchel Street and Emmet Place, Nenagh, Co.

The buildings are subject to the provisions of the Local Government (Planning and Development) Act 2000, which is one of the main legal mechanisms by which the architectural and cultural heritage resource is protected in Ireland. 1.7 Planning Context Present local authority planning policy is contained within the ‘Nenagh and Environs Development Plan, 2012-2019’ issued by North Tipperary County Council in 2013. The following policies and strategic objective of the N&EDP are particularly relevant to the current development proposal: Architectural Heritage Impact Assessment 7 18-20 Mitchel Street and Emmet Place, Nenagh, Co.

  • History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary
    History of Borrisokane ,Co.Tipperary. ‘Introduction’ What better way to begin an account of a Tipperary town than by referring to the following words of a poem called ‘Tipperary‘.In these lines, the poet ‘ Eva of the Nation‘ who was one of the Kellys of Killeen, Portumna,wrote: ‘O come for a while among us,and give us a friendly hand, And you‘ll see that old Tipperary is a loving and gladsome land; From Upper to Lower Ormond bright welcome and smiles will spring, On the plains of Tipperary,the stranger is like a king?‘ Yes, I think the words ring true,I`m sure, for us and about us,natives of this part of Irish soil?? It is about one particular spot ‘on the plains of Tipperary‘ that I wish to write, namely my home parish of Borrisokane?? . So I turn again to verse, which so often suggests things that mere prose cannot? In a book of poetry, ‘The Spirit of Tipperary‘ published many years ago by the Nenagh Guardian,we find a poem by Dermot F ?Gleeson who for many years was District Justice in Nenagh.He wrote under the pen-name ‘Mac Liag‘ . He writes as if from the top of Lisgorrif Hill looking down on the broad expanse of the two Ormonds with Lough Derg bordering them to the left? .The poem is simply called, ‘The place where I was born’ ‘O’er hill and mountain, vale and town, My gaze now wanders up and down, Anon my heart is filled with pride, Anon with memory’s gentler tide ‘ Of sorrow, until through them all The twilight whispers softly call From upland green and golden corn “It is the place where you were born”.

OPW Capital Investment to 31 December 2017 MAJOR FLOOD RELIEF SCHEMES: 1995-2017 Historically, flood risk management focused on arterial drainage for the benefit of agricultural improvement. Arising from increasing flood risk, the Arterial Drainage Act, 1945, was amended in 1995 to permit the Office of Public Works (OPW) to implement localised flood relief schemes to provide flood protection for cities, towns and villages. Some schemes have been carried out by the Local Authorities under their own powers using the Planning and Development legislative code. The OPW either works in association with the relevant Local Authorities or funds Local Authorities directly to undertake flood relief works.

  • Silvermine Mountains Csac
    National Parks and Wildlife Conservation Plan for 2005-2010 Silvermine Mountains cSAC Site Code 939 Co. Tipperary SUMMARY Site Description Silvermine Mountains is a candidate Special Area of Conservation (cSAC) due to presence of species-rich Nardus grassland on siliceous substrates in mountain areas, an Annex I priority habitat listed in the EU Habitats Directive, and northern Atlantic wet heath with Erica tetralix, a non- priority Annex I habitat. The site area is 18 hectares (ha) and the site is located approximately 1km south-east of Silvermines village, in north-west Tipperary. The land in the site slopes steeply from 240m in the north-western corner to 390m at the southern boundary. This upland site is divided into two small blocks by a road that runs through the centre of the site. Typical species associated with species-rich Nardus grassland and recorded at the site include Heath Bedstraw, Sheep’s Fescue, Bitter Vetch, Milkwort, Lesser Butterfly-orchid, Greater Butterfly-orchid, Tormentil, Lousewort, Mat-grass and Small White Orchid. Mat-grass, although present, is not the dominant grass species. Wet heath is the dominant habitat within the site. Characteristic species of this habitat are present and include Heather, Purple Moor-grass and Bilberry. Localised wet flushes are also present and are dominated by Soft Rush, Sharp-flowered Rush, with Marsh Arrow Grass, Meadow Thistle and Common Butterwort. Scrub has survived in inaccessible areas due to lack of grazing. The species here include Rowan, Hawthorn, Hazel, grading into Birch. This habitat is found mainly in the gullies at the western edge of the site.
