MEETING OF DEVELOPMENT PLAN MEETING

Tuesday, May 04, 2010

HEADED ITEM NO 75.

To introduce an additional SLO as follows and indicate the SLO alongside the potential flooding areas on Development Plan maps:

‘Areas of Flooding Potential – Assessment of Planning Applications:

The areas of flooding potential as indicated in the Dodder Catchment Flood Risk Assessment Management Study (CFRAMS) and the OPW “alluvial soils” floodplain maps are to be taken into account along with the requirements of Section 5 of The Planning System and Flood Risk Management Guidelines (November 2009) when assessing planning applications, with a view to restricting or, if necessary, refusing development proposals within such areas in order to avoid flooding events.’

Reason

Section 2.3.25 notes that recommendations and outputs from the Dodder and Liffey CFRAMS process will be incorporated into the Development Management process. This will ensure that long term strategies and programmes for flood risk management will be implemented on an ongoing basis. It is recommended that attention be drawn to the CFRAMS flood extent maps and the “alluvial soils” floodplain maps by means of a SLO located alongside the potential flooding areas.

Recommendation

That the amendment be adopted.
