Blessington eGreenway: Report to Inform the Environmental Impact Assessment Screening
The Proposed Development will cover approximately 33 km and involve the provision and upgrading of a greenway mostly through forest and woodlands adjacent to the shoreline of the Blessington Lake/Poulaphouca Reservoir SPA
The greenway surface construction is proposed to consist of a machine laid, bound pavement. A 20 mm surface course is proposed to be laid on a 40 mm to 55 mm base course on 150 mm Clause 804 subbase on a geotextile layer as required. Construction works will require shallow excavation (maximum depth of 200 mm – 300 mm), tree removal and replacement, placement of culverts, single span bridges over larger streams, fencing and minor landscaping.
Approximately 7,265 trees will be required to be removed to facilitate the Proposed Development
Report for the development notes “The Proposed Development is not anticipated to result in any significant effects. However, where temporary and transient impacts are likely to occur, the implementation of appropriate mitigation measures will reduce the duration and intensity of the impact”
