WL White Lands
Permissable Uses
White Lands are located in Navan, South Drogheda, East Meath, Kilmessan, Enfield and Ratoath. These are strategic lands and their designation is to allow for a long term, integrated approach to be taken for the expansion of an urban area. It is not generally envisaged that development proposals will be brought forward during the life of this Development Plan for such lands. No indication is therefore generally offered regarding the suitability or otherwise of individual uses on said lands. Should the Planning Authority be satisfied that a project proposed for lands with a white land designation would assist with the implementation of the Economic Strategy and education provision, these lands can be released for employment creating development during the plan period in accordance with the economic strategy. White Lands should only be released where it would lead to significant employment creation, education provision or which cannot reasonably be accommodated on other employment zoned land.
