In accordance with Article 81 of Part 8 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 (as amended), notice is hereby given that Waterford City and County Council proposes to carry out the following development:
Dunhill Village, Co. Waterford (L4011 & L4007) Urban Road and Footpath Improvement Works.
Waterford City & County Council intend to carry out an urban road and footpath improvement scheme along the Local Primary Roads L4011 and L4007 within Dunhill Village in County Waterford in the townlands of Ballynageeragh and Dunhill. This scheme will link the village centre with Dunhill Wetlands, Anne Valley Walk, Dunhill Enterprise Centre and GAA grounds to the East and Cois Cille Estate to the South. The implementation of this scheme will create a safer route and environment for all road users with a strong emphasis on non-motorized road users and encourage a modal shift from private car use to more sustainable and active travel options.
The proposed works will consist of a road alignment in order to facilitate a new footpath to the South, and an upgrade of existing footpaths, new footpath construction, controlled pedestrian crossing points with a raised table, build outs, road markings and road signage. The overall length of works is approximately 600 metres and is confined to the village. The works involve a road realignment for approximately 200 metres to the existing road infrastructure along the L4007 to facilitate a new footpath.
The works will include realignment of road, upgrade of existing defective footpaths, widening of existing footpaths, new footpath construction, controlled pedestrian crossing points with raised table, bike parking area, build outs, new road markings, upgraded road signage, services diversions, new surface water drainage system, new boundary treatments, accommodation works, and all ancillary works necessary for completion.
In accordance with Section 250 of the Planning and Development Regulations 2001 as amended, the Council has carried out an appropriate assessment screening and has determined that an Appropriate Assessment is not required. In accordance with Article 120 of the Planning & Development Regulations 2001 as amended, the Council has carried out an EIA screening and has determined that an EIAR is not required.
