9.5 Policies and Objectives - River Corridor Restoration |
KIN support the inclusion of a River Corridor Restoration strategy in line with WFD, RBMP and Climate change adaptation. In particular the inclusion of a set-back distance along the River Camac to safeguard the restoration integrity. Policies SI11 and SI12 (pg. 321) relate to developments along the river Camac and impact upon SDRA 7 and SDRA 9 relating to the opportunity for enhancing the Camac river corridor (both the ecological functioning and water quality) and aligns to principles of river restoration in the Kilmainham and Inchicore Area. The minimum set back distances outlined in this policy are supported by KIN. |
