EPA Export 26-07-2013:15:17:12 Portrane / Donabate Waste Water Treatment Scheme Environmental Impact Statement St. Ita’s Hospital is located to the north of the proposed waste water treatment plant. The Nurses’ Residence is the nearest sensitive receptor on the grounds of St. Ita’s Hospital and is situated 200m from the northern boundary of the proposed WWTP site. There are no residences to the east of the plant adjacent to the coastline. To the west of the site, the village of Donabate is located at a distance of 2 km. There are two primary schools, St. Patrick’s Girls School and St. Patrick’s Boys Schools, situated on the R126 on the eastern outskirts of Donabate village. There are two caravan parks located along the coastline to the southeast and south in proximity to the proposed site. The first is located at a distance of approximately 450m (on the coast) from the proposed site and the latter at a distance of 380m from the proposed site. (Ref Fig 3.1.1). In addition, there is a hotel, the Waterside Hotel, located at a distance of 800m to the south east of the proposed site. 3.1.2.4 LAND-USE Land-uses in the vicinity of the Portrane waste water treatment plant include agricultural, recreational, residential, and institutional. Lands in the immediate vicinity of the proposed waste water treatment plant site are predominately used for agricultural or recreational purposes. The lands immediately to the east and west of the proposed site are in agricultural use, principally arable, and the Donabate Golf Course is located immediately southwest of the plant. The Portrane / Donabate area is a high amenity area with six golf courses and several beaches. (Refer to Figure 3.1.2 for the location of the golf courses and Figure 3.1.4 for the locations of the beaches on the Portrane / Donabate Peninsula). The St. Ita’s Hospital and its extensive grounds lie immediately to the north of the plant.

Portrane and Donabate villages are relatively close to the site of the proposed waste water treatment plant. Portrane Village is located approximately 800m to the north and northeast, beyond St. Ita’s Hospital. Donabate Village is located 2 km to the west. Land-use in these areas are predominately residential. A large section of lands in the Burrow and also along the coast are occupied by caravan parks and individual chalet/ mobile home sites. While two sites are located relatively close to the plant at distances of 380m and 450m respectively, the remaining sites are greater than 1 km away from the proposed development.

Portrane / Donabate Waste Water Treatment Scheme Environmental Impact Statement The proposed site of the waste water treatment plant is currently zoned Objective G in the Fingal County Development Plan 1999-2004 (Refer to Figure 3.1.3). The purpose of Objective G is ‘to protect and improve high amenity areas’. The development of a public services/ utility installations on lands zoned Objective G is listed as ‘open for consideration’ in the Fingal County Council Development Plan. This means that a proposed use is generally acceptable unless where otherwise stated or where the specific factors associated with the proposed development and ultimate use of the land would result in the proposed development being contrary to the zoning objective. 3.1.2.5 TOURISM AND RECREATION The Portrane / Donabate Peninsula is considered a high amenity area with a total of six golf courses on the Peninsula and the areas adjacent to the coast have many caravan parks to cater for the summer visitors to the area. The golf courses on the peninsula are as follows (Refer to Figure 3.1.2): • Balcarrick Golf Club; • Beaverstown Golf Club; • Corballis Golf Club; • Donabate Golf Club; • The Island Golf Club; and • Turvey Golf Club. The golf courses attract a considerable number of visitors to the Portrane / Donabate Peninsula, particularly during the summer months. It is estimated that there is the potential to have an average of 1,040 golfers visiting the peninsula for a four-hour period during the weekend, this number reduces to an average of 670 golfers during the week. There are also several caravan/ mobile home parks on the Portrane / Donabate Peninsula. Some of these comprise small For parks inspection that purposes accommodate only. privately owned vans and mobile Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. homes located either in Caravan Parks, fields or on individual plots of land. Some of these Caravan parks, such as Donabate Caravan Park, hire out caravans/ mobile homes over the summer months. There are two beaches designated under the Quality of Bathing Water Regulations (S.I. Nr. 177 of 1998), namely Portrane Strand and Donabate Strand and these are the largest beaches on the Peninsula. However there are numerous other smaller beaches/ sandy coves which are regularly used by bathers and day-trippers, such as Egan’s Beach, Tower Bay, Shink Well, etc. Portrane Strand is also a Blue Flag Beach (Refer to Figure 3.1.4 for the locations of the beaches referred to in this paragraph). The Broadmeadow/Malahide and Rogerstown Estuaries, both candidate Special Areas of Conservation, attract walking groups and naturalists due to the nature reserves and interesting flora and fauna. In addition, the inner part of the Broadmeadow/ Malahide estuary is heavily used for water sports and recently a section of the outer estuary has been reclaimed for housing and a marina. The coastal waters are used, albeit infrequently, by sailing clubs, however, there are no sailing clubs operating from the Peninsula. B6889-N-R-11-B Section 3 E.G. Pettit & Co.

Data obtained from traffic counts undertaken by Fingal County Council on the Portrane / Donabate Peninsula in recent years are detailed below:- • October 22nd, 1998: Traffic & Pedestrian Survey at Donabate Church; • November 2nd, 1999: Donabate Shopping Centre Pedestrian & Vehicular Traffic Survey; • July 29th, 2001: Donabate Traffic Count. Refer to Appendix B for the Traffic Count Data. The findings are the traffic counts are summarised in Table 3.1.5. Table 3.1.5: Summary of Traffic Count Data for the years 1998, 1999 and 2001.

In the traffic counts undertaken in previous years, which were undertaken mid week, generally HGV traffic accounted for between (approximately) 4% and 5% of traffic into the Peninsula. For inspection purposes only. Consent of copyright owner required for any other use. Currently the site of the proposed waste water treatment plant is accessed via a road through the grounds of St. Ita’s Hospital. While the hospital has no objections with regard to the use of this road for operation and maintenance purposes, the hospital management has indicated that there would be objections to using this road during the construction phase of the proposed development. Therefore, it is proposed to construct a new access road to the proposed waste water treatment plant on to an existing road from the R126 used to access St. Patrick’s GAA Grounds (Refer to Figure 2.9). Although there is no data available it is assumed that a very small volume of traffic would currently use this access road. B6889-N-R-11-B Section 3 E.G. Pettit & Co.

    Establishment of Groundwater Source Protection Zones Martinstown, Ballinvreena Water Supply Scheme December 2010 Prepared by: OCM With contributions from: Dr. Robert Meehan, Ms. Jenny Deakin, Mr. David Ball And with assistance from: Limerick County Council l v Environmental Protection Agency Martinstown Ballinvreena Groundwater SPZ Project description Since the 1980’s, the Geological Survey of Ireland (GSI) has undertaken a considerable amount of work developing Groundwater Protection Schemes throughout the country. Groundwater Source Protection Zones are the surface and subsurface areas surrounding a groundwater source, i.e. a well, wellfield or spring, in which water and contaminants may enter groundwater and move towards the source. Knowledge of where the water is coming from is critical when trying to interpret water quality data at the groundwater source. The Source Protection Zone also provides an area in which to focus further investigation and is an area where protective measures can be introduced to maintain or improve the quality of groundwater. The project “Establishment of Groundwater Source Protection Zones”, led by the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA), represents a continuation of the GSI’s work. A CDM/TOBIN/OCM project team has been retained by the EPA to establish Groundwater Source Protection Zones at monitoring points in the EPA’s National Groundwater Quality Network. A suite of maps and digital GIS layers accompany this report and the reports and maps are hosted on the EPA and GSI websites (www.epa.ie; www.gsi.ie). i Environmental Protection Agency Martinstown Ballinvreena Groundwater SPZ TABLE OF CONTENTS 1 Introduction .............................................................................................................. 1 2 Methodology ............................................................................................................. 1 3 Location, Site Description and Well Head Protection ..........................................

LONDON ELLIOT STOCK, 62, PATERNOSTER ROW, E.C. 1893. PREFACE, THIS collection of traditionary lore connected with the Holy Wells, Rivers, Springs, and Lakes of England is the first systematic attempt made. It has been said there is no book in any language which treats of Holy Wells, except in a most fragmentary and discursive manner. It is hoped, therefore, that this may prove the foundation of an exhaustive work, at some future date, by a more competent hand. The subject is almost inexhaustible, and, at the same time, a most interesting one. There is probably no superstition of bygone days that has held the minds of men more tenaciously than that of well-worship in its broadest sense, "a worship simple and more dignified than a senseless crouching before idols." An honest endeavour has been made to render the work as accurate as possible, and to give the source of each account, where such could be ascertained.

  • Holy Wells: a Source of Inspiration Or an Archaeological Distraction?
    The Archaeological Forum Journal: CBA Yorkshire Volume 3 | 2014 (41–46) Holy Wells: a source of inspiration or an archaeological distraction? Dave Weldrake Corresponding author Heritage Education [email protected] Keywords Holy wells, Water troughs, Archaeology, Folklore Introduction In recent years, much has been written about the subject of holy wells (e.g. Bord 2006; Bord 2008; Harte 2008; Rattue 1995; Weldrake 2013; Weldrake n.d. 1; Whelan 2001). The material is of varying quality and with few exceptions seems to concentrate on the folklore elements of the subject. This interest is reflected in English Heritage’s Single Monument Class Description which defines a holy well as follows: ‘The term holy well is used to define a wide variety of water sources which have specifically religious associations. Specifically Christian associations of springs and wells can tentatively be dated from at least the sixth century. The cult of the holy well remained strong in the British Isles throughout the Middle Ages, but was curbed at the Reformation.’ (Bond 1990). This article will argue that using folklore in this manner is a serious distraction and that a better approach would be to study all wells in terms of their construction, function and social associations. Those that have religious or ritual connotations would then be seen to be only a sub-group of a much larger assemblage. The majority of examples to be considered are from West Yorkshire where the author lives and works. Definition One of the problems in making this study is defining exactly what is being considered. In common parlance the words well and trough are often seen as being interchangeable.

    ARCHAEOLOGICAL ASSESSMENT AT DISWELLSTOWN, CARPENTERSTOWN, CASTLEKNOCK, DUBLIN 15 ON BEHALF OF: GLENVEAGH HOMES LIMITED AUTHOR: JACQUI ANDERSON OCTOBER 2019 IAC PROJECT REF.: J3509 DOCUMENT CONTROL SHEET DATE DOCUMENT TITLE REV. PREPARED BY REVIEWED BY APPROVED BY Archaeological Assessment at 01.10.19 Diswellstown, Carpenterstown, 0 Jacqui Anderson Grace Corbett Faith Bailey Castleknock, Dublin 15 Diswellstown, Carpenterstown, Archaeological Assessment Castleknock, Dublin 15 ABSTRACT Irish Archaeological Consultancy Ltd has prepared this report on behalf of Glenveagh Homes Limited to study the impact, if any, on the archaeological and historical resource of the proposed development at Diswellstown, Carpenterstown, Castleknock, Dublin 15 (ITM 707740/736886). The report was undertaken by Jacqui Anderson of IAC Ltd. There are two recorded monuments within 500m of the site, a habitation site (DU017-010) and a holy well (DU017-011), c. 395m south and c. 445m southeast of the proposed development area respectively. Previous archaeological investigations in the environs of the proposed development area have revealed a prehistoric habitation site, which is now recorded in the RMP (DU017-010) and a number of isolated pits at another site, c. 340m east of the proposed development area. A field inspection carried out on the 12th August 2019, failed to identify any previously unknown features of archaeological potential. The development area contains a modern residence, outbuildings and a tennis court. It remains possible that ground disturbances associated with the proposed development may have an adverse impact on previously unrecorded archaeological features or deposits that have the potential to survive beneath the current ground level with no surface expression. This is possible within the open greenfield areas of the site.
