  7. PLANNING GUIDELINES NO. 9 These guidelines are issued under the Planning and Development Act 2000 to assist planning authorities in meeting their objectives under Part IV of the Act. While the guidelines are primarily addressed to planning authorities, it is hoped that they will also be of assistance to everyone with an interest in conserving our architectural heritage.
