Protect East Meath claimed the council zoned significantly more land for residential purposes than was required
It alleged the council zoned significantly more land for residential purposes than was required by the National Planning Framework during the five-year period the plan covers. The plan provided for some 8,000 residential units, which Protect East Meath said is between six and eight times the projected requirement over the plan’s lifespan.
The group also claimed the council did not sufficiently analyse the infrastructural capacity of the area. He ordered that Louth County Council and some landowners whose sites benefited from the zoning must be notified about the proceedings, which were the subject of further hearing by the court last week.
In June, Mr Justice Humphreys refused to quash the plan in a case brought by McGarrell Reilly Homes Limited and Alcove Ireland Eight Limited over a change of zoning of lands at Kilcock and Stamullen.
