Plasketts Burn (Antrim)<br />
The Plasketts Burn water body incorporates part of Antrim town <strong>and</strong> arable l<strong>and</strong>.<br />
There is also a golf course <strong>and</strong> army base along this stretch. The river is very straight<br />
<strong>and</strong> has extensive culverts through the town. There is a weir noted with field <strong>and</strong> road<br />
drains present.<br />
More information is required on the distribution of bank side alien species. The<br />
<strong>Water</strong> Quality Inspector (WQI) for the area revealed that there are weirs present <strong>and</strong><br />
these do not pose a significant problem. L<strong>and</strong> management strategies are in place but<br />
it is felt that these were not adequate <strong>and</strong> future development plans should include<br />
best practice. This would require further liaison with the Planning Service.<br />
