If you're submitting a planning application to Tipperary 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 Tipperary County Development Plan 2022-2028 and the Planning System and Flood Risk Management Guidelines.
Tipperary has significant flood risk from several major river systems. The River Suir flows through Clonmel, Cahir, and Carrick-on-Suir with extensive OPW flood mapping. The Shannon borders the county to the west affecting areas around Nenagh and Lough Derg. Thurles and Templemore have their own documented flood zones on smaller catchments.
- Sites along the River Suir corridor (Clonmel, Cahir, Carrick)
- Lough Derg shoreline and Shannon catchment (Nenagh area)
- River Ara and tributary flooding in Tipperary Town
