Upper Inny River , Townlands of Castlecor and Tully , County Meath
Proposed development
The development will consist of the removal of Castlecor Weir, its associated sluice, and fish passage to restore the natural river conditions and ecological connectivity of the Upper Inny River and all associated works including: I. The reprofiling and restoration of approximately 220m of the river channel to replicate natural stream conditions and enable fish migration including via provision of a low-flow channel. This includes placement of root wads, boulders, and graded rock to replicate healthy, stable, and natural channel conditions. II. Works to Castlecor Bridge to remove the current sediment blockage which results in road flooding and enable the natural flow of sediment and long-term adaptation of the riverbed upstream, as well as installation of sleepers to manage riverbed erosion. III. Sealing of the disused Castlecor Mill headrace inflow to prevent unintended flow diversion. IV. Creation of a temporary site access via the L6813 Road, temporary internal construction road, temporary access gate, permanent internal farm track (agreed with landowner), removal of individual trees to enable construction activities, and temporary construction lay down areas/site compounds. V. Reinstatement of the disturbed lands following weir removal including landscaping consisting of seeding and planting with appropriate native vegetation, removal of temporary construction facilities, and bank stabilisation works. VI. All other associated site development works. VII. This application is accompanied by a Natura Impact Statement.
