Project Area

The study area includes:

• Areas within which physical works are proposed to be constructed, accessed and maintained as part of any feasible scheme;
• Lengths of river channel / watercourse upstream and downstream that are likely to be impacted hydraulically by any such scheme;
• Areas that are intended to benefit from, and be protected by any such scheme;
• Areas that are likely to receive environmental impacts from any such scheme.

However, the focus of the scheme is the village centre which flooded in 2009, 2015 or 2020 or are predicted to flood in an extreme event.  This will focus on the boundary of the area for further assessment (AFA) as defined in the OPW’s CFRAM Study and shown in the map below.
