All associated works to facilitate the development e.g. temporary construction compound, security fencing and gates, baffle walls, underground cables, new lighting arrangement, lightning and telecommunication masts, parking and surface water drainage network. The development consists of an activity for which an Industrial Emissions Licence is required. The application is located within lands which are categorised as Lower Tier and Upper Tier COMAH sites (Dublin Bay Power Station and NORA oil farm respectively) and therefore fall under the requirements of the Control of Major Accident Hazard (COMAH) Regulations, 2015. The application is partially located within Poolbeg West Strategic Development Zone (SDZ) Planning Scheme area. An Environmental Impact Assessment Report (EIAR) which com- plies with the European Union (Planning and Development) (Environmental Impact Assessment) Regulations 2018 (S.I 296 of 2018) will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application. A Natura Impact Statement (NIS) will be submitted to the Planning Authority with the application. The EIAR and NIS will be available for inspection or purchase at a fee not exceeding the reasonable cost of making a copy, during office hours at the offices of the planning authority.
