Flood Risk Assessment for Meath Planning Applications

If you're submitting a planning application to Meath County Council and your site is in or near a flood zone, you'll need a Flood Risk Assessment that satisfies the requirements of the Meath County Development Plan 2021-2027 and the Planning System and Flood Risk Management Guidelines.

Meath's flood risk centres on the River Boyne system, which flows through Trim, Navan, and on to Drogheda. The Blackwater tributary affects Kells and Virginia areas, while the Deel and other smaller rivers create localised flood risk. With significant development pressure in the Dublin commuter belt, many Meath sites require careful flood assessment.

                Common Meath flood scenarios we assess:
                River Boyne corridor (Trim, Navan, Slane)
River Blackwater catchment (Kells, Virginia)
Coastal/estuarine sites near Drogheda/Laytown
Tributary flooding in commuter towns
Agricultural developments in Boyne floodplain
