Amendment 4 

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.
