Council drops Headfort area change

Archiseek / Ireland / News / 2007 / March 8

Meath County Council has upheld the Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) designation of 299 hectares (718 acres) of land around Headfort House, outside Kells, following the withdrawal of an amendment to reduce it by more than 90 per cent. The proposed reduction, tabled by Cllr John Farrelly (FG), had been adopted by 14 votes to three at a special council meeting last month when councillors were considering amendments to the draft Meath county development plan. However, following objections by An Taisce, the Irish Georgian Society, Headfort Golf Club and local residents, Cllr Farrelly told the latest council meeting that he was not pursuing the proposal to reduce the size of Headfort ACA.
