Route Development and Assessment Process

What has happened previously?

The project commenced in 2019, beginning with a Constraints Study being prepared to identify key constraints and opportunities associated with the scheme study area. In tandem with this, an early stage public consultation was carried out during November and December of 2019 which included a number of information evenings and an online consultation.

The information gathered through that process has been carefully reviewed by the project team in closing out the Constraints Study.

The key feedback emanating from that public consultation is provided at the following link. In early 2020 following on from the Constraints Study, work on the Feasibility Study and Options Assessment process commenced, consisting of a two-stage options assessment process.

Submissions on  the Emerging Preferred Route for the Fingal Coastal Way were published and open for public consultation in 2022. Submissions closed on Thursday, 22 December 2022.

What’s Happening Now?

The project team is currently reviewing all submissions made by the public regarding the Emerging Preferred Route.

What will happen next?

We will review the feedback from the public and make adjustments where appropriate. It is envisaged that a planning application is likely to be submitted to An Bord Pleanála in 2024.
