Draft Noise Action Plan 2024-2028
Public Consultation:
Leitrim County Council’s Draft Noise Action Plan under the Environmental Noise Regulations, 2006 (Statutory Instrument No. 140 of 2006).
Leitrim County Council have prepared a Draft Noise Action Plan for sections of major roadways in their functional areas that experience a volume of traffic greater than 3 million vehicle passages per year.
The plan covers environmental noise from major transport sources, as designated by the Environmental Noise Regulations 2006. Details of the sections of roadway referred to above can be viewed in the Draft Noise Action Plan. Please be advised that this plan excludes noise from domestic activities, noise created by neighbours and noise at workplaces.
It should be noted that concurrently an Appropriate Assessment Screening has been undertaken and a report documenting this prepared. The AA Screening considers European Communities (Birds and Natural Habitats Regulations 2011 (S. I. No. 477 of 2011)). A Strategic Environmental Assessment report and determination was also prepared.
Part of this screening stage includes a screening of environmental significance, to assess whether the plan is likely to result in significant effects and therefore taken forward for SEA.
The Draft Plan will be available for public inspection at the offices of
Leitrim County Council, Aras an Chontae, St. George’s Terrace, Carrick on Shannon, Co. Leitrim, between the hours of 9.30am to 1pm and 2pm to 4.30pm, Monday to Friday from Tuesday, 29 October to Friday, 9 December 2024 inclusive.
