The Scairt Cross proposed development, comprises the construction of a residential development of 60 no. dwelling units, all designed to take into account the existing urban architecture.

    • 8 no. two-storey 3-bedroom houses,
    • 1 no. four to five-storey apartment block (Block A) containing:-

The findings of the AA screening noted that no significant effects on any Natura 2000 sites is likely, and it was not necessary to undertake any further stage of the Appropriate Assessment process.

In addition, the proposed development has been screened to determine whether an Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA) is required, and it has been concluded that there will be no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development and that an EIA is not required.

No. 296 of 2018, a person may, within 4 weeks beginning on the 7th of July 2022 apply to An Bord Pleanála for a screening determination as to whether the development would be likely to have significant effects on the environment.
