Areas within Wicklow Port accrete sediment over time, with variability in the rates of sedimentation experienced. The situation over recent years has let to a significant deterioration of the navigational levels, particularly in the approach channel. Wicklow County Council is seeking to establish a long-term sustainable dredging strategy. However, in the meantime action is required to ensure safe navigation to and from the port can occur. Failure to do this will hinder both trade and safety. Therefore, this application is submitted to facilitate bed-levelling the approach channel to the port and the potential removal of sediments to shoreside location for subsequent management (beneficial use or waste facility).
