The EIS is required by An Bord Pleanala (the Board) under Section 146C of the Planning and Development Act, 2000 (as amended) (the Act). A comprehensive description of the proposed alterations is included in Chapter 3 of this EIS. 1.2 Planning Context Under ABP Ref. No. PA00035m the Board decided on 28th May 2015 to grant a 10-year planning permission for the redevelopment of the existing port facilities at Ringaskiddy. During the detailed design of the proposed works it became evident that the long-term sustainability of the project could be significantly improved by making a number of alterations to the infrastructural works and the landside operations of the permitted container terminal. On 20 th July 2016, POC submitted to the Board a request under Section 146B(1) of the Act to alter the terms of the permission granted under PA00035.

  • Mizen Ring Gives You the Chance to Immerse Yourself in the Various Strands That Make the Mizen Unique
    Goleen, Crookhaven and Mizen The Mizen Peninsula, at Ireland’s most southwesterly point, is worldwide renown for the beauty of its rugged landscape and ancient heritage. A tour of the Mizen Ring gives you the chance to immerse yourself in the various strands that make the Mizen unique. From geology, flora, birds and fauna to the influence of man and his history on the landscape. Travelling west from Schull you drive along the bog road built originally in the eighteenth century to carry butter to Cork for export to the new colonies. TOORMORE As you approach Toormore on your left you will see the Altar Dolmen, a neolithic tomb. On the right just after that is The Altar Church built during the Famine as relief work. In the grounds of the Altar Restaurant a recent find was a Wedge Tomb from the Bronze Age. GOLEEN You continue on through the townlands of Kealfadda, Ballyrisode and Ballydevlin until you reach Goleen. This village was built during the nineteenth century at a crossroads where a cattle fair was held. You will see that the street is very wide and all the houses were originally built as shops. There is a hidden harbour down to the left in the village, which gives the village its name ‘Goilin’, ‘little inlet’. Although the harbour dries at low tide, giving great feeding for a variety of wildlife including a fox and a pheasant, there is a deepwater quay at the entrance to accommodate fishing boats and yachts. CROOKHAVEN Crookhaven Harbour is as picturesque as it was useful being a large sheltered harbour.

With reference to Circular LS/OSConsentand of copyrightthe ownerflow requireddiagram for any otherin use.Appendix 1 attached, it can be concluded that the wastewater discharging from the agglomeration will not have significant effects on any relevant European sites. The discharge point relating to Crookhaven agglomeration is approximately 100m from the Sheeps head to Toe Head SPA (Site Code 004156) and approximately 500m from Barley Cove to Ballyrisode Point SAC (Site Code 001040). The agglomeration discharges into Crook Haven which is a large, well exchanged body of water with high dilution and the pe of the agglomeration is <500pe. A Habitats Directive Assessment (Screening Report) for Crookhaven Agglomeration has been carried out and is attached. It can be concluded from this that an appropriate assessment is not required for this agglomeration.
