The proposed site is located within the curtilage of the larger Skerries Mills site; the watermill complex is a recorded archaeological monument (DU005-029) and has protected structure (RPS No. 228 & 229) status.

The proposal involves:

a) the demolition of the existing single-storey metal-clad agricultural ‘barn’ (the Red Barn – approx. 65m2) at the entrance to the Mill complex, and in close proximity to the main Mill buildings,

b) the construction of a new single-storey building, of similar architectural language, materials and height on the site of the demolished building (approx. 128m2), and

c) all associated site development works including new external signage, drainage, site lighting, site landscaping, and consolidation of fencing and boundary walls.

As required by Article 81 of the 2001 Regulations and amended by Article 17(2) of the 2006 Regulations, plans and particulars of the proposed development will be available for inspection at https://consult.fingal.ie/en/browse and inspection or purchase at a fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy from
