Zoning
Just watch excellent Prime Time Investigates about crazy zoning up and down the country.

The experience of the small village of Puckane very closely resembels Julianstown.

Julianstown is under severe pressure from the past and potential rezoning decisions of our councillors. Right now negotiations are in progress to zone enough land on the south of Drogheda for at least 5000 houses as part of the Drogheda Environs plan. At the same time negotiations are stepping up behind closed doors to rezone more land in Julianstown to double the size of the village

Julianstown Architectural Review in Progress
Julianstown will be the subject of an architectural assessment in the coming months. Meath COunty Council advertised a tender to carry out this work in the last week. Julianstown is one of the “Architectural Conservation Areas” adopted by our County Councillors in the Meath County Development Plan 2007-2013.
The tender can be viewed at

Old Mill Development
An article in the Drogheda Leader this week paints a misleading picture regarding the Old Mill Hotel in Julianstown. The article states that the Old Mill will be demolished and that a “town centre” development comprising 10 retail units and 39 appartments will be constructed.
So far no planning application has been submitted. Also the Old Mill is a protected structure and is part of the Julianstown Architectural Conservation area. Apart from that there is a cap of 23 units that can be built in Julianstown in the next 6 years.
These limitation were approved by our elected councillors in March and any variation from that plan needs their approval. It will be interesting to see if the mystery purchaser of the Old Mill has any influence over the votes of our councillors. If he or she intends to carry out the plan as advertised in the Drogheda Leader they will need to persuade the councillors to reverse their decision made in March of this year.
