What Happens Next?Detailed site investigations including: environmental, land, and geotechnical surveys are on-going and will be soon completed. Following the completion of surveys and consultations, the design of the proposed road development will be finalised and the Environmental Impact Statement, Natura Impact Statement and Compulsory Purchase Order will be completed. It is anticipated that the development application will be ready for submission to An Bord Pleanála towards the end of Q1 2016. The Statutory Orders and Environmental and Natura Impact Statements will be prepared in accordance with the relevant legislation for the development consent process.

N5 Ballaghaderreen to Scramoge Road Project Public Information Event– December 2015

Public DisplayPublic Information Event– December 2015An upgrade of the N5 National Primary route between Ballaghaderreen and Scramoge is proposed to tie in with the recently completed N5 Ballaghaderreen Bypass. The existing N5 passes through the towns of Frenchpark, Bellanagare, Tulsk and Strokestown. A preferred route corridor for the scheme was identified in 2007 and following a period of suspension the project was reactivated and is moving forward to planning stage.

A public consultation event was held for the proposed road project in March 2015. The objective of that Public Consultation was to provide the public with a greater insight into the proposed road development and to request feedback on the developing design. Feedback received during this consultation was generally positive towards the project although many of the affected landowners raised specific issues regarding their holdings. Over the past number of months the project team have been addressing many of the comments received and where possible the design has been amended in response to these concerns as well as take account of the results of further surveys.

The objective of this Public Information Event is to provide details of the design and land acquisition requirement that is being finalised for planning. The substantially complete design including side roads, junctions and ancillary works are presented in the attached maps.
