DLRCoCo and the OPW have notified us of a project to provide improvements to the Carrickmines & Shanganagh streams, a tributary of which runs through Belarmine and Kilgobbin and skirts the outside of the Sandyford Hall estate.
The “Carrickmines Shanganagh River Flood Relief Scheme” is in the public consultation stage and the project team have made documentation available for review online as well as at the Dun Laoghaire and Dundrum council offices.
The project will see modifications at two locations immediately adjacent to Sandyford Hall, and another modification close by within Clon Burgh in Aiken’s Village.
A new flood defense wall and associated flood gate as well as modifications to the stream bed are planned for the area to the rear of Sandyford Hall Grove, while a flood defense wall and a new underground overflow is planned at the rear of Sandyford Hall Close to run under the Kilgobbin Road to alleviate flow pressure at the narrow bridge just East of Riverside House.

The expected timeline for construction and handover runs through 2026 to 2027 with knock-on effects to traffic on the Kilgobbin Road over part of that duration.
The main site for the project is available at https://www.csfrs.ie/ and additional planning documentation is also available from ABP’s site, https://www.pleanala.ie/en-ie/case/321937. The documentation is also published on DLRCoCo’s planning portal: https://planning.agileapplications.ie/dunlaoghaire/application-details/101666
Submissions and observations can be submitted until the 15th April 2025.
