Development at a site at lands at Lisnanard Townland, Ballyvaughan, Co. Clare (no Eircode available). The site measures circa 1.126 hectares and is principally bounded by the R477 road to the north; residential dwellings, agricultural buildings, and agricultural lands to the east, an un-named lane and a residential dwelling beyond to the west; and agricultural lands to the south. The site also includes a section of the R477 Regional Road that is within the Lisnanard Townland. The development will consist of: (1) The construction of a new Wastewater Treatment Plant (WwTP) comprising of: an inlet pumping station; a below ground storm tank (c.168m3); a storm overflow flow meter; an outfall manhole and emergency pumping station; a hose reel; inlet works; washwater kiosk; a sludge pumping station; a flow splitting chamber; a picket fence thickener (c.3.51m diameter); a return liquors pumping station; 2 no. settlement tanks (c.4.97m diameter); a final effluent flowmeter chamber; sample point and kiosk; a concrete hardstanding area for emergency mobile dewatering unit; a control building; a standby generator; 2 no. solar panels (c.20m [L] x 15m [w] x 3m [h]); 2 no. site parking spaces and associated ESB charge point; task lighting; internal access roads; new direct access from the R477; new signage; a paladin boundary fence (c.2.4m high), with a main access gate to the north, and landscaping maintenance access points to the south and east. (2) The installation of new sewers comprising of: a combined final effluent and storm sewer, storm overflow / return, sludge / return liquors, scum and dirty drain, foul pumping main, surface water drainage and potable watermains within the WwTP site; the installation of c.266m of new gravity sewer that will intercept the flow east of the existing septic tank and transfer these flows to the new WwTP; and c.240m of a new final effluent gravity sewer to convey the treated effluent from the new WwTP to the existing outfall. The emergency overflow pipe from the inlet pump station will connect to this sewer before leaving the WwTP. Installation of this effluent sewer will terminate at the existing manhole junction on the R477. (3) Landscaping works within the site boundary comprising of: earth embankment works; a proposed wildflower and biodiversity enhancement area; screen planting to supplement existing trees and hedgerows; removal of a section of the existing stone wall and trees / hedgerow to the north to facilitate the new direct access from R477; and a new stockproof boundary fence. (4) All other associated site excavation, infrastructural and development works above and below ground. A Natura Impact Statement has been prepared in respect of the proposed development.
