Proposed Kells Amendment No. 3 – refuse change

The SEA Consultant Comments clearly underlines the requirement for such proposed zoning amendments to be discussed and reviewed only as part of the future Kells Development Plan, and unsuitable for consideration in the CDP, as per proper planning procedure.

The proposal to change R/A Rural Area to A2 New Residential (lands to the west of Kells) is completely premature and the land in question sits on a high risk flood plain, any development on which will have a knock on effect elsewhere. No zoning changes can be considered until a full EIA and NIS are carried out as part of the new Kells Development Plan.
