Proposal description

PART 8: Infrastructure, LCC intends to develop a greenway from the Station House in Carlingford Town to Carlingford Marina along the shore of Carlingford Lough/the R173 and under the bridge of King John’s Castle in the townland of the Liberties. The proposed greenway, measuring approx. 2.65 km in length, will be predominantly located in the town realm of Carlingford and it will mainly traverse hard surfaced areas.The proposed greenway will connect to existing and future sections of the overall cross-border Carlingford Lough Greenway network.The proposal will utilise existing hard surfaces where available comprising separate pedestrian and cyclist routes and a shared walking and cycling greenway which will incorporate the following components: • a shared use vehicle and cycle facility along Back Lane, Dundalk Street, Church Road and Newry Street and a segregated cycle lane from Back Lane along the land side of the R173 to the entrance of Carlingford Marina • a new pedestrian asphalt footpath along the R173 and associated kerbing and fencing from King John’s Bridge to the Carlingford Marina access junction • new traffic calming measures and road crossings along the R173 including road cushions, traffic calming gateway , anti-skid surfacing, road markings and signage • new street lighting along the section of greenway from King John’s Bridge to the Carlingford Marina access junction; • all necessary site works including trail head improvements, informative boards, directional signage and relocation of existing picnic benches and recycling facilities.In addition to the above, and in accordance with the provisions of Article 81(2)(c) of the Planning & Development Regulations 2001, the proposed development comprises the carrying out of works which will not materially affect the character of a protected structure, namely King John’s Castle or those within the designated Carlingford Architectural Conservation Area.In accordance with Article 81(ca) and 120(1B)(b)(i) of the above-mentioned regulations, LCC, as the competent authority, has concluded from a Screening Determination, based on an examination of the nature, size and location of the proposed development that there is no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development and as such has determined that an EIA is not required.
