ACCESSING THE SITE FROM THE PROPOSED A5 WTC

CONCEPT MASTERPLAN OF FORMER CARRICKLEE LANDFILL SITE, STRABANE

A5 WTC PROPOSED ACCESS OPTION 2 DRAWING NR: 718736-WSP-PH2A-D-0800-002-REV A

A5 WTC ACCESS OPTION 2

• ACHIEVES NECESSARY SIGHT LINE REQUIREMENTS OF

4.5M X 160M IN BOTH DIRECTIONS

• EFFECTIVELY ‘SPLITS’ THE MAIN BODY OF THE SITE IN

HALF

• WOULD RESULT IN A LONGER INTERNAL ACCESS ROAD

(AND COSTS) TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE WATERS EDGE AT THE RIVER FINN AT THE BEST POINT OF ACCESS (WITH EXISTING LEVELS BETWEEN THE SITE AND THE RIVER AT THE LOWEST) TO THE NORTHERN CORNER OF THE SITE LOWEST CHANGE IN LEVEL FOR ACCESS TO RIVER FINN ORANGE LINE INDICATES LAND TAKE REQUIREMENTS FOR A5 WESTERN TRANSPORT CORRIDOR

OPTION 2 – MOST FEASIBLE OPTION TO REACH THE RIVER LEVEL DUE TO EXISTING LEVELS AND TO ACHIEVE DESIRED SIGHT LINES

A5 WTC PROPOSED ACCESS OPTION 2

CONCEPT MASTERPLAN OF FORMER CARRICKLEE LANDFILL SITE, STRABANE

A5 WTC PROPOSED ACCESS OPTION 3 DRAWING NR: 718736-WSP-PH2A-D-0800-003-REV A

LOWEST CHANGE IN LEVEL FOR ACCESS TO RIVER FINN ACCESS MAY NOT BE IMMEDIATELY ACHIEVEABLE DUE TO SIGNIFICANT LEVEL CHANGES FROM THIS OPTION OVER A SHORTER DISTANCE TO THE RIVER, AND THE ACCESS ROAD DOEN TO THE RIVER WOULD HAVE TO BE FURTHER ALONG THE RIVER AND ALONG THE STEEP RIVER BANK, WITH ADDITIONAL RETAINING STRUCTURES REQUIRED ORANGE LINE INDICATES LAND TAKE REQUIREMENTS FOR A5 WESTERN TRANSPORT CORRIDOR

A5 WTC ACCESS OPTION 3

• DOES NOT ACHIEVE FULL SIGHT LINE REQUIREMENTS OF

4.5M X 160M IN BOTH DIRECTIONS AND A RELAXATION OF SIGHT LINES TO 4.5M X 106M WOULD BE REQUIRED FROM TRANSPORTNI

• SIGHT LINE RESTRICTIONS TO BE ADDED TO THE RISK

REGISTER

• DOES NOT ‘SPLIT’ THE MAIN BODY OF THE SITE IN HALF

ALLOWING A GREATER AREA TO BE USED FOR RECREATION/CYCLING ACTIVITIES

• RESULTS IN A SHORTER LENGTH OF INTERNAL ACCESS ROAD

(AND COSTS) TO GAIN ACCESS TO THE WATERS EDGE AT THE RIVER FINN AT THE BEST POINT OF ACCESS (WITH EXISTING LEVELS BETWEEN THE SITE AND THE RIVER AT THE LOWEST) TO THE NORTHERN CORNER OF THE SITE

OPTION 3 – NOT REALLY A FEASIBLE OPTION TO REACH THE RIVER LEVEL AS DISTANCE OF INTERNAL ACCESS ROAD TO THE RIVER REQUIRES MAJOR REGRADING WORKS TO THE EXISTING RIVER BANK IS TO ACHIEVE ACCESS TO THE RIVER AND THE SIGHT LINE RESTRICTIONS WOULD ALSO HAVE TO BE RELAXED
