lucia Has anyone any idea whether there are laws that would prevent drastic alterations to an old castle for compliance with modern fire and planning regulations?
Thanks
Luc.
wurdsmiff I suspect that your laws are similar to those in the U.K whereby it would depend on whether the alterations are to be made to a listed building or not. I suspect that planning permission would be required, and that alterations to comply with fire regulations would be encouraged, if not demanded, particulariy where the premesis is to acquire a public function, e.g. as a hotel. I am no lawyer and have no experience of how things work in Eire.
The best person to consult would be a lawyer, or contact the local council/authority. I am sure that they would be happy to explain the local point of view.
lucia Thank you Savoy.
Unfortunately I left the castle I was overseeing for various reasons (have you a day and a jar of coffee?)...but the information would have been useful!
I am still madly interested in castles so if you are looking for any help castle wise call on me...

Kind regards,
Lucia
