Waterford SURVEY OF PRE-1923 COUNTY WATERFORD INDUSTRIAL HERITAGE 1. INTRODUCTION Waterford County Council, supported by the Heritage Council, commissioned Dublin Civic Trust in July 2007 to compile an inventory of the extant pre-1923 industrial heritage structures within Waterford County. This inventory excludes Waterford City from the perimeters of study, as it is not within the jurisdiction of Waterford County Council. This survey comes from a specific objective in the Waterford County Heritage Plan 2006 – 2011, Section 1.1.17 which requests “…a database (sic) the industrial and engineering heritage of County Waterford”. The aim of the report, as discussed with Waterford County Council, is not only to record an inventory of industrial archaeological heritage but to contextualise its significance. It was also anticipated that recommendations be made as to the future re-use of such heritage assets and any unexplored areas be highlighted. Mary Teehan buildings archaeologist, and Ronan Olwill conservation planner, for Dublin Civic Trust, Nicki Matthews conservation architect and Daniel Noonan consultant archaeologist were the project team.

Submitted in fulfillment of the requirements for the Degree of Ph.D. School of Humanities College of Arts University of Glasgow August 2014 Abstract Much concerning the disease termed leprosy is accepted as received knowledge, without thought to time and place, but there were many differences in how leprosy sufferers were treated across regions and eras, and so diversity should be regarded as normal. This thesis will examine what was meant by the term leprosy during primarily the medieval period between the sixth and fifteenth centuries in Ireland in order to see if this equates with the disease called Hansen’s Disease in the twenty-first century.

Location Main Quay, Cheekpoint, County Waterford. Planning Authority Waterford City and County Council Planning Authority Reg. Ref. 20217 Applicant(s) Cheekpoint Boat Owners Ass. Type of Application Permission Planning Authority Decision Grant with conditions Type of Appeal Third Party Appellant(s) 1. Sean Doherty 2. Pat Moran Observer(s) None Date of Site Inspection 25th of March 2021 Inspector Caryn Coogan ABP-309266-21 Inspector’s Report Page 1 of 26 1.0 Site Location and Description 1.1 The site is located in Cheekpoint Harbour which is located within the Lower Suir Estuary on the southern bank of the River Suir in Co. Waterford. Cheekpoint is a coastal village, located east of Waterford City, at the confluence of the River Barrow and the River Suir. The village commands scenic views of Waterford Harbour. On the opposite side of the river along the north banks there is the Great island Power station in Co. Wexford. 1.2 The built heritage of the Harbour, consists of elements of the late 18th Century harbour such as the small stone pier and low quay walls, a row of 18th Century renovated single storey fisherman’s cottages, Daisybank House (1765) and the Mount (1750). The harbour/ pier is L-shaped. 1.3 Cheekpoint Harbour is prone to silting. In 1995 a series of groynes were built 200metres out in the river to divert the Cheekpoint Bar, which was a mudbank impeding large vessels traveling up the river, which resulted in Checkpoint silting up and now Waterford Port has to regularly dredge the river in the vicinity of Cheekpoint to ensure access to the quay.

  • Volume 4 - Environmental Report
    Waterford County Development Plan 2011-2017 Plean Forbartha Chontae Phort Láirge 2011-2017 Volume 4 - Environmental Report Waterford County Council STRATEGIC ENVIRONMENTAL ASSESSMENT STATEMENT WATERFORD COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN REVIEW 2011 - 2017 February 2011 Waterford County Council Comhairle Chontae Port Láirge SEA Statement An Environmental Report was prepared by Waterford County Council on the potential significant environmental impacts of the Draft County Waterford Development Plan 2011-2017. Alternatives were considered for the future growth of the county that included continuing with existing amount of zoning in the County Development Plan 2005-2011 or reducing the area of zoned land in support of objectives in the Regional Planning Guidelines, Water Framework Directive and national energy policy. The preferred strategy was a reduction in zoned land to an area of 461 ha for residential development. Publication of the South East Regional Planning Guidelines 2010-2022 and provisions of the Planning Act 2000 (as amended) has stipulated the need for alignment of the Core Strategy with the Regional Planning Guidelines population thresholds and consequently a review of the Core Strategy contained in the Draft County Development Plan will commence in 2011. The Environmental Report highlighted key environmental pressures in the county that include water quality with the need to restore surface water quality in Dungarvan Bay, and Waterford Estuary, groundwaters around the River Suir, bathing waters in Ardmore and Dunmore East, continued monitoring of public water supplies and provision of sufficient capacity in waste water treatment plants and the Seven Villages Scheme. The need to maintain water quality is key to conservation of biodiversity and water dependant habitats and species.
