    Adamstown ADAMSTOWN SDZ PLANNING SCHEME 2014: APPROPRIATE ASSESSMENT SCREENING REPORT South Dublin County Council Land Use Planning & Transportation Department Part 1 Determination as to whether or not the Adamstown SDZ Planning Scheme and Draft Amendments would adversely affect the integrity of a European site Determination A formal screening process of the Adamstown SDZ Planning Scheme 2003 and the 2013 Draft Amendments was carried out to determine whether Appropriate Assessment Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive was required. The screening exercise were carried out in accordance with the Commission’s methodological guidance (EC, 2002) to determine a) whether the plan or project is directly connected to or necessary for the management of the site and b) whether the plan, alone or in combination with other plans and projects, is likely to have significant effects on a Natura 2000 site(s) in view of the site(s) conservation objectives. It was determined that an Appropriate Assessment of the Planning Scheme and Draft Amendments was not required having regard to: • The AA Screening Report (October 2013) and Addendum to the Screening Report (January 2014); • The characteristics of the Planning Scheme; • The objectives of the Plan to protect Natura 2000 sites and biodiversity; • The Strategic Environmental Assessment Environmental Report prepared; and • The consultations with the Prescribed Bodies Part 2 Appropriate Assessment Screening Report South Dublin County Habitats Directive Assessment SCREENING OF THE ADAMSTOWN SDZ PLANNING SCHEME,

    Appropriate Assessment Screening Determination CP0823 Maynooth-Turlough Hill 220 kV Line Refurbishment [Exempted Development] (Counties Kidare and Wicklow). In accordance with Article 6(3) of the EU Habitats Directive (Directive 92/43/EEC) and Regulation 42(1) of the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011 as amended (‘The Regulations’), EirGrid has undertaken Appropriate Assessment (AA) screening to assess, in view of best scientific knowledge and the conservation objectives of relevant European sites, if the proposed Maynooth- Turlough Hill [Exempted Development (‘the proposed development’) individually or in combination with other plans or projects would be likely to have a significant effect (s) on a European site(s). The proposed refurbishment development consists of: Foundation strengthening at six no. locations; and, Remedial works to shearblocks throughout. There are no new towers or tower replacements required. There are no works within or adjacent to European sites. The nearest European sites are the Poulaphouca Reservoir Special Protection Area (SPA; site code 4063;)1, and The Wicklow Mountains Special Area of Conservation (site code 2122)2. This determination has had regard for these and any other relevant European sites. In accordance with Regulation 42(7) of the European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats) Regulations 2011 SI 477 as amended, EirGrid has made a determination following screening that an Appropriate Assessment is not required as the project individually or in combination with other plans or projects is not likely to have a significant effect on any European sites. The risk of likely significant effects on European sites can be excluded on the basis of objective evidence.
