DISCLAIMER Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council makes no representations, warranties or undertakings about any of the information provided in this assessment including, without limitation, on its accuracy, completeness, quality or fitness for any particular purpose. To the fullest extent permitted by applicable law, Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown nor any of its members, officers, associates, consultants, employees, affiliates, servants, agents or other representatives shall be liable for loss or damage arising out of, or in connection with, the use of, or the inability to use, the information provided in this assessment including, but not limited to, indirect or consequential loss or damages, loss of data, income, profit, or opportunity, loss of, or damage to, property and claims of third parties, even if Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown has been advised of the possibility of such loss or damages, or such loss or damages were reasonably foreseeable. Dún Laoghaire- Rathdown reserves the right to change the content and / or presentation of any of the information provided in this report at their sole discretion, including these notes and disclaimer. This disclaimer, guidance notes and conditions of use shall be governed by, and construed in accordance with, the laws of the Republic of Ireland. If any provision of these disclaimer, guidance notes and conditions of use shall be unlawful, void or for any reason unenforceable, that provision shall be deemed severable and shall not affect the validity and enforceability of the remaining provisions. UNCERTAINTY Although great care and modern, widely-accepted methods have been used in the preparation of this assessment there is inevitably a range of inherent uncertainties and assumptions made during the estimation of design flows and the construction of flood models. BEST AVAILABLE INFORMATION There has been a wide range of datasets utilised in the production of this plan which are constantly changing and subsequently the analysis of these datasets is only correct at the time of assessment. The assessment is based on the maps available in June 2015 (which includes Draft Eastern CFRAM maps). It is acknowledged that new methodologies and/or recently recorded data could have a minor impact on the analysis undertaken herein. The SFRA is not a statutory planning document. It is a consultation document that should be used to inform a development plan or local area plan, enabling the implementation of the „Sequential Approach‟‟ and the testing of development zoning against flood risk

Introduction 1.1 Project background Triturus Environmental Ltd. consultants were appointed by the Biodiversity Officer (Parks & Landscape Services) of Dublin City Council to undertake a Eurasian otter (Lutra lutra) survey, hereafter otter, of the fourteen major riverine watercourses within their jurisdiction. These watercourses included (listed from north to south) the River Mayne, Santry River, Naniken River, River Tolka, River Liffey, River Camac, River Poddle, River Dodder, Owendoher River, Whitechurch Stream, Little Dargle River, Wyckham Stream, Slang River and Elm Park Stream covering 83.8km. Additionally, the approximate 44.7km of coastal boundary of Dublin City Council was also surveyed. The M50 road network served as a working boundary and no reaches of any watercourses upstream of the motorway were surveyed. The baseline otter surveys, conducted over 2018 and 2019, helped to identify the presence of otters within Dublin City boundaries by identifying the occurrence of otter field signs (i.e. holts, spraints, couches, prints & other signs – see Methodology section below).

  • Response to DLRCC's Issues Paper for the County
    HAVE YOUR SAY Dun laoghaire-Rathdown County Development Plan 2022TITLE-2028 PAGE Submission from Imagine Dundrum February 2020 Submission from: Imagine Dundrum Secretary: Dr Wendy Cox 30 Ailesbury Lawn Dublin 16 Mobile: 087 9087388 Landline: 01-2951054 2 Introduction Overview Imagine Dundrum welcomes the opportunity to make a submission to the pre-draft consultation for the revised County Development Plan 2022-2028. In this submission, our focus is on those aspects of the County Development Plan that are likely to have most relevance for Dundrum Village and its immediate surroundings : 1. People, Homes and Places (including Housing) 2. Sustainable Movement and Transport 3. Green County; Play and Recreation 4. Retailing and Major Town Centres 5. Built Heritage 6. Climate Action and Energy Efficiency We are at a key moment in the decisions and processes that will determine the future of Dundrum. The redevelopment of the Village offers an unparalleled opportunity to restore Dundrum’s original strong identity and focus, and renew it as a uniquely thriving and attractive place. The County Development Plan, along with the Dundrum Local Area Plan, will have a major influence on the outcome, not only for current local residents, workers and visitors, but for many years to come. It is vital that they support and enable the best possible future Dundrum. Dundrum in the County Development Plans The current and future County Development Plans will provide the crucial framework for the redevelopment of Dundrum Village, and hence will significantly determine the future quality of life of its rapidly expanding and changing population. At present, Dundrum’s situation is poor – while it has been designated the second major town within DLR County, it lacks almost all the facilities and services appropriate to this status, including a civic centre as the focus for community life.
