Environmental Assessment

Binnies/NOD’s specialist environmental team have been assessing the information obtained from the OPW and Louth County Council, in order to specify what surveys and assessments were needed to make the scheme environmentally successful.

A Constraints Study has been undertaken to provide a proportionate analysis of the environmental constraints present within the likely project area. It highlights any vulnerable environmental features, provides a high-level consideration of potential impacts of short-listed options and sets out a clear approach to managing environmental risks through scheme design and management.

Binnies/NOD will continue to focus on providing the relevant environmental information to support the optioneering of the scheme design. Landscape Architects have visited the site and undertaken the baseline survey with viewpoint locations identified for further discussion with the Planning Department of the Local Authority.
