I am a resident of  [Redacted_Personal Information], Ashbourne, Co Meath. I would like to
make an observation on Meath County Development Plan 2021-2027
Material Amendment No 4. I fully support MCC decision to amend zoning
within Millbourne housing estate from A1 ‘Existing Residential’ to F1
‘Open Space’.

At the same time I would like to note that public open space provision
in the Millbourne housing estate, with the newly rezoned lands amounts
to 4.7% of the overall Millbourne housing estate, which is still
significantly below the existing Development Plan standard of 15%. Any
housing estate, including Millbourne estate is required to have open
space for recreational use within the area of the estate as per Irish
Planning Acts, Ministerial guidelines and as per Meath County
Development Plan.
