Project Timeframe

What is happening now?

Our project team is currently gathering and reviewing data to inform the next steps of the project. This process will help us determine the necessary survey requirements, assessments, and design activities. The upcoming surveys will likely include ground investigations, environmental surveys, and topographic surveys.   

We are pleased to announce a Public Participation Day in April 2025 to publicly launch the project. During this event, we will share more details and engage with the community. Additionally, we will provide periodic updates on our website to keep you informed about upcoming activities and progress.

What happens next?

The next step involves further data collection, surveys, and flood modelling, leading to the development of all feasible options for the flood protection works needed at Sandymount.   All Potential Options will then be presented to the public at a further Public Participation Day where feedback will be sought.   

Further Steps then involve the Identification of a Preferred Option and further public consultation.  This will be followed by the detailed design of the scheme and the preparation of environmental reports (EIAR, NIS, WFD) required to accompany its application for planning consent.
