Five challenges to Meath development plan to be heard by commercial court via IrishTimesBiz

Three more challenges to the Meath County Development Plan have been admitted to the High Court’s fast-track commercial division.

On Monday, Mr Justice Denis McDonald admitted all three cases to the Commercial Court and transferred them to the court dealing with commercial planning and strategic infrastructure development matters. The application was made by Jarlath Fitzsimons SC, on behalf of the council, and on consent with all three plaintiffs.

It also claims there was a failure by the council to have any or adequate regard to submissions it made in relation to Dolent’s position regarding actual flood risk on the land. Hickwell/Hickcastle say future development has been affected by the council’s decision to provide for a road which cuts across these lands at Bracetown/Gunnocks and in circumstances where development has already been partly implemented.

The change, says Protect East Meath, was not consistent with the regional spatial strategy which requires a land prioritisation or a de-zoning to address excess zoned lands during the life of the development plan.
