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.
