Appropriate Assessment
Under Article 6(3) of the EU Habitats Directive and Regulation 30 of SI no. 94/1997
“European Communities (Natural Habitats) Regulations” (1997) any plan or project which
has the potential to significantly impact on the integrity of a Natura 2000 site (i.e. an SAC or
SPA) must be subject to an Appropriate Assessment. This requirement is also detailed under
Section 177(U) of the Planning and Development Acts (2000-2010).
The site is removed from any Natura 2000 sites and there are no significant pathway
connectors in the vicinity.
Having regard to the context and the development as proposed, and the activities associated
with the development proposal both during and post construction works, it is taken that it is
not necessary for an Appropriate Assessment to be carried out in relation to this
development.
Planning Assessment
The following sections, objectives, policies, etc, contained in the County Development Plan
2019-2025 pertain:
▪ The house is being remodelled as part of a comprehensive re-design – a design
statement has been submitted in support (Policy RDP 16).
▪ No undue residential amenity concerns (Policy RDP 24 – see pic below).
There are no overlooking openings, and whilst the neighbour facing elevation would
change, the reworking of the site layout would also close off this side of the house to
traffic.
Conclusions
Further Information (FI) is needed re wastewater treatment and environmental protection.
