Removal and realignment of boundary fences, including the removal of existing palisade fencing and gateways, and appropriate treatment of boundaries adjacent to HSE lands at St. Loman’s Nursing Home to enable the road connection.
Environmental and Appropriate Assessment Screening
In line with Article 6(3) of the Habitats Directive (92/43/EEC) and the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) Directive 2011/92/EU (as amended by 2014/52/EU), the Planning Authority has carried out appropriate screening procedures and concluded:
(a) The proposed development, individually or in combination with other plans or projects, is not likely to have a significant effect on any European site. A Stage 2 Appropriate Assessment is not required.
(b) The proposed development is not likely to have significant effects on the environment, does not fall within classes of development under Schedule 5, and therefore does not require an Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR).
Any person may apply to An Bord Pleanála within four weeks from the date of this notice for a determination as to whether the development would be likely to have significant environmental effects.
