9.2 Flood Risk Management
The Dublin Airport Local Area Plan Strategic Flood Risk Assessment and Surface Water Management Plan have been prepared alongside this LAP, in order to delineate the current flood extents across the LAP lands and includes recommendations for the future development of these lands. Future development should comply with the associated subsequent plan objectives to ensure sustainable development in so far as the avoidance of any increased flood risk and to ensure any impacts on water quality are positive.
Accordingly development proposals at the Airport will be required to demonstrate compliance with the following objectives.

This assessment should be appropriate to the scale and nature of risk to the potential development.
