  • Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape
    Offaly County Development Plan 2021-2027: Draft Stage Chapter 4 Biodiversity and Landscape Chapter 4: Biodiversity and Landscape 4.1 Introduction Biodiversity or biological diversity simply refers to all living things on earth; people, plants, animals, fungi and micro-organisms, the ecosystems and habitats which they form part of and their interdependence and interconnectedness with each other. The conservation of biodiversity is an integral part of good environmental management. Natural capital is the earths stock of natural assets which include geology, soil, air, water and all living things. It is from this natural capital that people derive a wide range of services often called ecosystem, services which make human life possible. In line with Regional Policy Objective (RPO) 3.4 of the Eastern and Midland Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy, the Council promotes an ecosystems services approach in the preparation of this County Development Plan. The four main types of ecosystem services are provisioning, regulating, habitat and cultural, each of which are defined in Table 4.1 below; Table 4.1 Definition of Each Type of Ecosystem Service Type of Ecosystem Services Definition Provisioning services Products obtained from ecosystems such as food, fresh water, wood, fibre, genetic resources and medicines. Regulating services Benefits obtained from the regulation of ecosystem processes such as climate regulation, natural hazard regulation, water purification, waste management, pollination and pest control. Habitat services Provision of habitats for migratory species and to maintain the viability of gene-pools. Cultural services Non-material benefits that people obtain from ecosystems such as spiritual enrichment, intellectual development, recreation and aesthetic values.

Cork. Ageing highway structures present a challenge throughout the developed world. The introduction of bridge management systems (BMS) allows bridge owners to assess the condition of their bridge stock and formulate bridge rehabilitation strategies under the constraints of limited budgets and resources. This research presents a decision-support system for bridge owners in the selection of the best strategy for bridge rehabilitation on a highway network. The basis of the research is an available dataset of 1,367 bridge inspection records for County Cork that has been prepared to the Eirspan BMS inspection standard and which includes bridge structure condition ratings and rehabilitation costs.

    Lower Lee (Cork City) Drainage Scheme in association with Chapter 11: Material Assets Environmental Impact Statement Lower Lee (Cork City) Drainage Scheme in association with 11 MATERIAL ASSETS Material assets are generally considered to be the physical resources in the environment, which may be of human or natural origin. This chapter details the impact of the proposed Lower Lee (Cork City) Drainage Scheme on these resources, namely transport infrastructure, subterranean infrastructure, management of waste, access to river/land and land use. This impact assessment is based on a desk study, with details of major utilities taken from information supplied by Cork City Council, Cork County Council, Arup (Scheme Designers) and the service providers.
