    Royal Portrush Golf Club Planning Application: LA01/2017/0539/F Synopsis of Marine & Fisheries Division Concerns

    Curran Strand - Royal Portrush Golf Club Planning Application: LA01/2017/0539/F Synopsis of Marine & Fisheries Division concerns Primary concern: • First and foremost, the Department and Royal Portrush Golf Club have the same desired outcome, which is the protection of the golf course for now and in the future, in addition to the protection of the amenity value and natural protection provided by the beach and dune system. • The primary concern of M&FD is the further extension of hard engineering within a soft dune system, protection that is now considered inappropriate. • M&FD has consistently stated that the applicant should explore alternatives to hard defences at the site. Alternative design and/or the use of habitat restoration/soft defences we do not feel have been adequately explored or modelled by the applicant. We recommended that the proposal should focus on enhancing natural coastal defences (dune habitat), in order to become more resilient to climate change in the long term, whilst ensuring adjacent marine habitats and associated shoreline habitat are not impacted by continued erosion effects. • We have consistently stated in our responses that engineering within a soft sand dune system impacts on the natural coastal processes and in the majority of instances causes further erosion problems. Hard structures, prohibits an on-shore/off-shore movement of sediment, causes scouring and erosion alongshore which results in edge/end effects, such as that a Curran Strand. • There is a very real risk that if these works are permitted they could cause further erosion problems for the golf club, causing further destabilisation of the dune system alongshore.

Thursday, June 2 On arrival at the Airport you will be met by PerryGolf personnel who will assist you with your luggage and transfer to your transportation. Your preferred arrival & departure airport options are dependent on your personal preferences. The closest airport to your first hotel/golf course is listed first. Some airports have direct transatlantic flights from US cities while others only offer service with connections through European hub cities. Our air department is available to talk through your air travel options. Today play Ardglass (tbc). Ardglass is a course many would never find on their own but we wholeheartedly recommend it. Founded in 1896, this is an exceptional layout less than 30 minutes from Royal County Down with dramatic elevation changes and striking views as you play on high ground along black rock cliffs beside the Irish Sea. The first five holes are as memorable as you’ll find with rocks and water threatening every shot not played with a putter. The par 3s here stand out. No. 2 at 167 yards is “Howd’s Hole― played over a massive ravine to a much to small green. “Cathlin― plays from an elevated tee to a green located on the edge of the club’s rocky headland 198 yards away. A 14th century castle serves as Ardglass’ clubhouse, the oldest in golf.
