Chapter 3: Settlement and Housing Strategy
Caibidil:
Proposed Amendment Number:
Amendment no 5 – Rural to D1 Tourism
We consider the above amendment No. 5 inappropriated and unsuitalbe for the following reasons:
- It’s proximity to SPA/SAC (Natura 2000 Site). Any development would have an adverse negative impact on this Natura site and would have a significant effect on the integrity of the Boyne Estuary SPA and SAC.
- This area is in a flood zone. We note An Bord Pléanala has refused planning permission on this site as not suitable for habitable or commercial use.
- The location is remote and removed from natural surveillance and should be left undeveloped.
