Have regard to and promote the objectives of the Shannon River Basin District Management Plan, and associated Programme of Measures when completed and any future reports in relation to water quality for the County.

Surface Water St. Patrick’s Church-Main Street (West) - This is the main surface water sewer in Elphin. It consists of a 225mm pipe that flows along Chapel Street in an easterly direction on the southern side of the street before discharging into an open watercourse, which crosses Chapel Street. During the Public Consultation phase for the Plan concern was expressed in relation to excess surface water in the Chapel Street and Blackstick Road areas. Roscommon County Council is in a position to carry out the necessary works to address flooding in the Chapel Street area and adjoining lands, subject to approval from the landowner. Roscommon County Council is also currently working towards addressing the flooding issues in the Blackstick Road area; this is subject to the approval of relevant landowners. Policies in relation to Surface Water Policy 22 Ensure that all new developments have adequate surface water drainage systems. Elphin Local Area Plan 2009-2015 Page 26
Chapter 4: Infrastructure and Services Policy 23 Maintain an adequate surface water drainage system in the Elphin LAP. Objectives in relation to Surface Water Objective 27 Objective 28 Objective 29 Promote best practice in the management of surface water flows and discharge within the LAP area. Have regard to the Draft (and Final) European Communities Environmental Objectives (Surface Waters) Regulations, 2008, and any future reports in relation to surface water environmental quality standards for the County. Carry out all necessary works to adequately address flooding issues in the Chapel Street and Blackstick Road areas of Elphin. 4. Flood Risk and Protection The Planning and Development Act, 2000 lists amongst suitable reasons for refusing a planning application; ‘the proposed development is in an area which is at risk of flooding’. Flooding is a natural phenomenon of the hydrological cycle. While there are different types and causes of flooding, the most common in County Roscommon is the flooding of rivers especially the Shannon River Catchment. The Office of Public Works completed a flood study for the county and findings indicated that flooding mainly occurs along the eastern boundary with the River Shannon. The LAP will take cognisance of the OPW’s Flooding Report and any future reports in relation to flood risk for the County. Developments granted permission in areas close to flood plains will contain measures to ensure that the risks of flooding are minimised or eliminated. Flood points in the Elphin LAP area are illustrated on Map 2 – Infrastructure and Services. The EU Directive (2007/60/EC) on the assessment and management of flood risks (2007) aims is to reduce and manage the risks that floods pose to human health, the environment, cultural heritage and economic activity. The Directive requires Member States to first carry out a preliminary assessment by 2011 to identify the river basins and associated coastal areas at risk of flooding. For such zones they would then need to draw up flood risk maps by 2013 and establish flood risk management plans focused on prevention, protection and preparedness by 2015. The Directive applies to inland waters as well as all coastal waters across the whole territory of the EU.
