Meath, The development would contravene materially the following objectives of the Meath County Development Plan 2021-2027: The site of the proposed development is zoned F1 - Open Space with the definitive land use zoning objective ‘To provide for and improve open spaces for active and passive recreational amenities.’ The proposed development is not listed as a ‘permitted’ or ‘open for consideration’ land use under the F1 zoning objective.

To assess where the bins in Ashbourne are located and where there is a shortage of bins. I spoke to one of the men who empties the bins, and he said some bins are used and overflowing, where others are not well located. Tidy Towns is also a good resource as to where the problem litter areas are.

To ask the executive to actively pursue a smaller public site in Ashbourne to develop an off-leash dog park. Ashbourne remains Meath's second largest town with a population of 15,680, up 24 percent since the last census. The population is projected to continue to grow at that rate. With more apartments being built under the new housing model, dog owners will have even fewer options to walk and exercise their dogs. Without anywhere to walk and potty the dogs, green areas where children play are being used with the resultant dog fouling on playing fields and on footpaths. There is no green space to walk dogs in Ashbourne and given that a public park is many years away, a smaller off-leash dog park may be a more feasible proposition.
