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.
