Dublin-based Margrove Limited proposed a four and five-storey apartment building in Dunboyne, which included 32 apartments of varying sizes. However, Meath County Council raised significant design concerns regarding the project's compliance with transportation, broadband provisions, and sustainability goals. Although Margrove made some revisions to address these issues, the council found the changes insufficient, particularly criticizing the lack of pedestrian-friendly features and active street frontages. As a result, the council rejected the application, highlighting that approval would set an undesirable precedent for future developments in the area.
The local authority's refusal of Margrove's plans centered on a lack of active street frontages, insufficient pedestrian support, and overall substandard design.
Planning officials expressed concerns over the development's design and compliance regarding transportation and broadband provision, leading to they further information request.
Margrove's responses to the concerns raised were deemed insufficient by the planners, particularly regarding the minimalist approach to infrastructural improvements.
Councillors argued the development's design fell short of the sustainability goals required for Dunboyne, rejecting the application to prevent setting a negative precedent.
