Pursuant to the requirements of Part 8 of the Planning & Development Regulations 2001 as amended, Notice is hereby given that the development as described hereunder (“the proposed development”) is proposed to be carried out for Cork City Council.
The City Council and Waterloo Renewal Group wishes to carry out bank stabilisation works and riverside path repairs along a 100m length of riverbank at Mill Pond, Waterloo Road, Blarney, Co. Cork to reinstate the Mill Pond looped walk.

Riverbank stabilisation works by using sandstone rock armouring
Removal of trees from the riverbank between the Mill Pond and River Martin
Replanting of trees once construction has been completed
A gravel path installed along walkway
Construction of a wooden fence on either side of the walkway
In accordance with the Habitats Directive, an Appropriate Assessment (AA) Screening has been carried out on the project, in relation to any potential impacts upon the Cork Harbour Special Protection Area [Site No. 004030] and the Great Island Channel Special Area of Conservation [Site No. 001058]. The findings of the AA screening noted that no significant effects on any downstream Natura 2000 sites is likely as a result of the proposed project.
