This is a notice of proposed development by Dún Laoghaire Rathdown. They are looking for your observations and submissions.
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council are proposing a flood relief scheme along the Deansgrange Stream. The Deansgrange Stream has a history of fluvial flooding. A number of flood studies have been done on this stream. This proposed scheme is for a combination of measures to help protect property in the environs of the river and reduce the risk to the community.
The proposed scheme includes the following measures:
- The relocation of an existing entrance at the southwest of Clonkeen Park to a location c.47m northwards along the boundary and associated works. The works include an extension of the Johnstown road off-road cycletrack northwards to the new entrance.
- The replacement of 2 No. existing 1m dia. concrete pipes with a new 1.2m high x 3m wide concrete culvert, under Granville Road and associated works.
- A new flood storage system with a total storage volume of approximately 9,615m3 including 2 detention basins, wetlands, embankments, flow control structure, pedestrian bridge, footpaths and landscaping within the existing greenspace at Glenavon Park.
- Construction of c.240m of flood defence walls of up to 1.5m in height upstream of Killiney Hill Road bridge. Works include upgrading the upstream parapet of the bridge.
- Installation of c.166m of concrete overflow pipe beginning upstream in the green area at Seafield Court crossing under the existing railway line (1.2m diameter) with a downstream section (1.8m diameter) through the amenity area east of the railway line, with a new outfall headwall to the existing Deansgrange stream.
- Replacement of the existing debris screen and support walls and associated works at inlet to culvert between Seafield Court and Bayview housing estates.
- Installation of a debris screen at the pedestrian bridge adjoining the Abberley estate and upstream of Killiney Hill Road.
- Replacement of the debris screens and associated works at Shanganagh Road and at the Fish Pass in the environs of St. Columbanus National School.
