Aspects of a proposed 661-home development at Rathmullen have been declared wrong in law and the decision to grant permission for the project has been overturned by the High Court.
The Highland Residents Association and Protect East Meath Ltd had taken the action after An Bord Pleanala granted permission for the construction of the strategic housing development on lands on the outskirts of Drogheda. Under the Planning Act 2016, Trailford Ltd had sought to develop the site as part of a fast track planning procedure.
The housing development proposed by Trailford was for the construction of 509 houses, 152 apartments together with a crèche, a shop and a café.
