This Chapter assesses the direct
impacts on land use and amenities directly affected by the construction of each
of the route options. With respect to
impact on amenities, this chapter specifically deals with the physical loss of
amenities, either by demolition of these amenities or by removal/disruption to
their existing access arrangements.
Impacts on Agriculture,
Mineral Resources (Quarries), Planning, Landscape and Aesthetics, Noise and
Vibration, Air Quality and Socio-economic aspects are addressed separately in
other sections of this report. The
assessment draws on an earlier Constraints Study that contained a brief review
of activities within the towns, land use and amenities and information on
planning applications provided by the Planning Department of Cork County
Council. This assessment has also been
based on OS colour aerial photographs taken in May 2000 and a windscreen
survey.
In assessing impacts, the
following significance criteria have been used. Criteria for numbers of properties or business premises affected
have been developed to be appropriate to this predominantly rural area.
|
Impact |
Significance Criteria |
|
Severe adverse impact |
Complete loss of
existing amenities (e.g. athletics stadiums, schools, parks, woodlands). Demolition of 11 or more residential
properties. Demolition of 5 or more

|

existing amenities. Demolition of 6

amenities or commercial premises.
Demolition of 1–5 residential properties. Demolition of 1 business premises. Loss of 6-10 sites subject to planning applications. |
|
Minor adverse impact |
Minor disruption or
slight land take of existing amenities, residential land or commercial
land/premises. No residential or business properties demolished. Loss of 1-5 sites subject to planning
applications. |
|
No impact |
No change to existing
amenities and businesses. |
|
Minor beneficial impact |
Improved access to land
zoned for development in Local Plan. |
Table 13.1 (a to e) summarises
the effect on properties, planning approvals and amenities by the various
sections of the different route options.
The locations of the various “built” amenities effected are shown on Figure 13.1. Environmental
amenities identified as constraints, such as cultural heritage and ecologically
important sites, are shown on the Figures associated with the relevant
respective chapters of this report.

Minor Adverse Impact.
Close proximity to
residential property.
The 4th class
road between Clondrohid and Carrigaphooca is used as a local walking route.
No Impact.
Minor Adverse Impact.
Possible land take due to
close proximity to commercial property.
No Impact.
The route passes though
sand and gravel reserves including land acquired by John A Wood Ltd – Chapter
15.
At all stages of the
design process the route alignment is optimised to limit demolition and other
impacts on property and amenities.
Further development of the route alignment will be carried out during
the subsequent more advanced stages of the design process with the aim of
mitigating the impact of the route on property and amenity. Ideally, where it is possible, impact due to
demolition and loss of amenity can be mitigated against to the extent where
their effects are negligible or avoided altogether.
A review of ownership and
existing rights would be undertaken to develop further appropriate mitigation
measures. This will be followed by
discussions with those affected.
Where property has to be
demolished, this will be a matter of compensation with the owner/resident.
Accommodation works and
landscaping can be used to limit the effect of the road construction on
properties affected.
Both the Green and Yellow
Routes west of Macroom create moderate adverse impact due to the loss of
amenity at Cascade Wood.
On the whole however, the
Yellow Route west of Macroom is in close proximity to a greater number of
residential properties than the Green or the Green/Link/Yellow routes. Therefore, acquisition of residential land
is likely to be greater for this Route.
All routes may affect the
EMC car park at the tie-in to the Ballincollig bypass. The Green route would be the most preferred option
as it passes close to the least number of properties with no residential
demolitions or loss of amenity. The
other northern routes (Red and Green/Link1/Red) cross the Lee Valley Golf Club
at its southern boundary, which may affect 2 of the greens. However, it may be possible to remodel the
golf greens with minimal affect on the course.
The Red route also requires demolition of one commercial property. The Blue requires demolition of one
residential property and one commercial property. The Yellow route is in close proximity to the greatest number of
properties.
The routes to the east of
Macroom, listed in preference with respect to minimising demolition and loss of
amenity, are:
· Green (most preferred)
· Yellow/Link4/Blue
· Yellow/Link6/Blue
· Yellow
· Green/Link3/Red
· Red
· Blue (least preferred)
