Proposed Regional Surface Water Attenuation Pond 2A, Cherrywood SDZ

Overview

Location: ​

Within the proposed Linear Park in Lehaunstown - Development Area 1 to ensure proper and sustainable surface water management to serve the Cherrywood SDZ area.

What does it do?​​

Pond 2a forms part of the strategic surface water strategy for Cherrywood and is designed to provide attenuation volume for the 1 in 100 year storm event and treatment for enhanced water quality.​

​Why is it needed?​

These strategic ponds will provide storage to meet attenuation requirements and thereby reduce the potential for flooding during extreme rainfall events. In addition, the ponds will provide the final stage of treatment for surface water runoff prior to discharge to the watercourses.​

​How important is it?​

It is very important! It is essential that the Pond is delivered as early as possible to facilitate the delivery of much needed housing in Cherrywood, including development of dlr’s own residential housing plot in Lehaunstown. ​

Circa 2,800 residential dwellings, including local authority social housing, circa 14,850m2 of commercial development floorspace in the Lehaunstown and Tully Village centres and the educational facilities in the catchment will rely on Pond 2A for surface water management. ​
