Offaly County Development Plan 2014-2020
Offaly County Development Plan 2014-2020 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (October 2014) Offaly County Development Plan 2014-2020 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment October 2014 Page | 2 Offaly County Development Plan 2014-2020 Strategic Flood Risk Assessment 1. Introduction Flooding is a natural process that can happen at any time in a wide variety of locations. Flooding has significant impacts on human activities; it can threaten people’s lives, their property and the environment. Assets at risk can include housing, transport and public service infrastructure, commercial, industrial and agricultural enterprises. The health, social, economic and environmental impacts of flooding can be significant and have a wide community impact. Understanding flood risk is a key step in managing the impacts of flooding. Spatial Planning has a significant role to play with respect to flood risk management, in particular in ensuring that future development needs avoid or minimise future increases in flood risk. The ‘Planning System and Flood Risk Management’ Guidelines for Planning Authorities issued in November 2009 reinforce the responsibility of Planning Authorities to ensure that flood risk is managed effectively and sustainably as an integral part of the planning process balancing socio-economic needs, environment, and infrastructure and flood risk. As part of the management of flood risk, the guidelines, published jointly by the Department of the Environment, Heritage and Local Government (DoEHLG) and the Office of Public Works (OPW) set out the requirement for Planning Authorities to undertake a Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) examining the risks of flooding in order to aid in making informed and sound planning decisions such as the zoning of particular areas for development or the development of land for particular uses. -

Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape
Offaly County Development Plan 2021-2027: Draft Stage Chapter 4 Biodiversity and Landscape Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape 4.1 Introduction Biodiversity or biological diversity simply refers to all living things on earth; people, plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms, the ecosystems and habitats which they form part of and their interdependence and interconnectedness with each other. The conservation of biodiversity is an integral part of good environmental management. Natural capital is the earths stock of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. It is from this natural capital that people derive a wide range of services often called ecosystem, services which make human life possible. In line with Regional Policy Objective (RPO) 3.4 of the Eastern and Midland Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy, the Council promotes an ecosystems services approach in the preparation of this County Development Plan. The four main types of ecosystem services are provisioning, regulating, habitat and cultural, each of which are defined in Table 4.1 below; Table 4.1 Definition of Each Type of Ecosystem Service Type of Ecosystem Services Definition Provisioning services Products obtained from ecosystems such as food, fresh water, wood, fibre, genetic resources and medicines. Regulating services Benefits obtained from the regulation of ecosystem processes such as climate regulation, natural hazard regulation, water purification, waste management, pollination and pest control. Habitat services Provision of habitats for migratory species and to maintain the viability of gene-pools. Cultural services Non-material benefits that people obtain from ecosystems such as spiritual enrichment, intellectual development, recreation and aesthetic values. -
