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

Development Plan 2025-2031 pertain:
▪ The site is not apparent from the public domain/road(s), and the “architectural”
design(s) acceptably accords with the rural setting and the existing house.
▪ No overshadowing, overlooking or (being) overbearing concerns.
Conclusions
▪ A grant of permission is recommended.
▪ A community, recreation and amenity development contribution is due as per the
separately attached calculation sheet.
