Cork County Council has undertaken a screening determination under Section 120(1B)(b)(i) of the Planning and Development Regulations, 2001, as amended. In its determination the Council had regard to the description of the features of the proposed development and the measures envisaged to avoid or prevent significant adverse effects on the environment of the development. The conclusion of the determination was that there is no real likelihood of significant effects on the environment arising from the proposed development and that an EIA is not required.
