                                                                                   in recent years, from a small village to become part of the

     Public Transport
     Ashbourne is serviced by the recently constructed M2 motorway and is
     12km from the M50 (Dublin ring road). The development of the motorway
     plays an integral part in the future vision for economic development within
     South East Meath. A frequent bus service operates from Ashbourne to
     Dublin city centre.

                                                      Economic Development Strategy
                                                      Ashbourne is currently designated as a “moderate growth town” within the Meath
                                                      County Development Plan. It is considered that the continual sequential growth of the
                                                      town will sustain existing commercial enterprise and encourage inward investment,
                                                      providing for future growth in employment and enterprise.

                                                      Ashbourne Town Centre has a B1 zoning in the current Meath County Development
                                                      Plan as follows:
                                                      To protect and enhance the special physical and social character of existing town and
                                                      village centres and to provide for new and improved town centre facilities and uses.

                                                      There are new emerging opportunities that can facilitate economic development with-
                                                      in Ashbourne; including the presence of a skilled labour pool, new infrastructure and
                                                      upgrades to existing infrastructure. The Planning Authority is also committed to and
                                                      will continue to work closely with bodies and organisations that can deliver economic
                                                      expansion to South East Meath.

Services and Infrastructure
The M3 Eco Park at Bracetown will benefit from:

1.       A high profile location just 16 kilometres from Dublin City centre, with extensive frontage onto both the M3 motorway
         and the R147 (formerly N3).
2.       Convenient and easy access to both national and regional road networks. The M3 motorway, which forms the western
         boundary of the site, greatly enhances the accessibility of these lands from both a regional and national context, providing
         convenient access onto the National Route Network.
3.       Location 8.5 kilometres from the M50.
4.       Location 20 kilometres from Dublin Airport.
5.       Exceptional access to high quality public transport by means of train stations at both Pace and Dunboyne, on the Navan
         Rail Line. Located within the pedestrian catchment of the train station at Pace.
6.       Access to shipping ports in Dublin, Dun Laoghaire and proposed port at Bremore.
7.       Self sufficiency from existing services and infrastructure.

Through sourcing water on site, treating effluent within the lands and maintaining greenfield run-off rates through Sustainable Urban
Drainage methods (SUDs), the Eco Park will establish a model of sustainable development. Existing ESB, telecoms and broadband
infrastructure run along the R147 adjoining the subject lands, providing easy and efficient access to services.

In summary, the M3 Eco Park presents an excellent opportunity to locate at a high quality campus with excellent linkages at local, re-
gional and national level.

2.4 M4 Carton Demesne - Maynooth
    Dynamic Cluster
Introduction
Maynooth is located; 23km west of Dublin City Centre and 26km from Dublin Airport.

The town is a designated growth centre in the Regional Planning Guidelines and forms part of the ‘M4 dynamic cluster’ within the area.
It is a major University town with a growing student and residential population, with established rail and motorway links to Dublin, Dublin
Port, Dublin Airport and the rest of the country. The area is well placed to take advantage of its proximity to the National roads network,
Dublin Airport and well as national rail network. Maynooth has been clearly identified in the RPGs as the anchor settlement within the
overall ‘M4 dynamic cluster’. This is primarily due to Maynooth’s educational institutions as well as its long-established and prominent
settlement history.

                                                                              Historical

                                                A non-statutory Masterplan for the SMART Park within the Carton Demesne lands was
                                                prepared in 2008. This masterplan has been prepared with the objective to provide for
                                                hi-tech/bio-tech industries in that location. The vision of the Masterplan is to provide a
                                                high-quality campus to the north-west of Carton Demesne with a strong emphasis on

                                                will include for a mixture of employment, enterprise, education and some residential

     The area has good access to the regional ESB net-
     work. There are a number of ESB lines which trav-
     erse the LAP area lands including a 220 kv overhead line. The
     development of the LAP area lands will require the provision of
     additional substations and appropriate network infrastruc-
     ture. Other utility services such as telecommunications and
     gas will require action on the part of the utility providers. In
     particular, the provision of a high capacity broadband network
     is a pre-requisite for the delivery of a high quality Science and Tech-
     nology based campus.

     Introduction to the development
     Moygaddy (Maigh Gadaí) is an area directly north of the busy University
     Town of Maynooth and its Town Centre. While Moygaddy is within the
     County Meath, Maynooth proper is within County Kildare. The two are
     separated by the Ryewater. Moygaddy is a crucial development zone
     for the vibrant town centre of Maynooth and its expanding technological
     and educational campuses. The realisation of varied development in this
     area will result in a prominent role for Moygaddy and Maynooth in the
     context of the Greater Dublin Area, both as a strategic employment zone
     and area for residential development and provision of suitable amenity.

     Economic Development
     Strategy
     Development will follow the guidance of the Moygaddy,
     Maynooth Masterplan and will provide a mix of building
     types and uses with a full range of utilities. It is envisaged
     in the Meath County Development Plan 2013-2019 that
     the lands at Moygaddy are to be utilised for high end
     employment, residential, tourism and supporting com-
     mercial uses.

     The objective set out by the Development Plan is to fos-
     ter a ‘dynamic partnership’ between multi-national com-
     panies, indigenous small and medium sized enterprises
     (SMEs) and third level institutions which may include
     Maynooth University leading to the creation of an area
     of excellence with a high degree of synergy as a premier
     location for high tech/bio tech industries.

     This will be augmented by the provision of the new May-
     nooth Outer Orbital Road delivering new infrastructure
     and providing a solid base for high end science and tech-
     nology campus.

Appendix A - Land Use Zoning Objectives
     Meath County Council, is in the process of reviewing its Development Plan and Local Area Plans (which provide further guidance for towns and villages) will follow.
     To this end, the policies which relate to sites can change and Meath County Council, to encourage economic activity and employment generation within key areas
     (including South East Meath) facilitate and welcome consultation with potential investors or developers to pragmatically and positively interpret the Plan such that its
     key underlying objectives are met, i.e. growth of the Metropolitan area (which includes South East Meath), create and maximise opportunities for job creation, etc.

     To determine if your proposal accords with the most up to date and relevant Development Plan policies we would recommend and can arrange consultation with the
     planning authority.

     South East Meath has a range of suitable ready to go developed site and zoned greenfield lands for economic development purposes. The lands are zoned within
     the Draft Variation No. 3 of the Meath County Development Plan 2013-2019 and Maynooth Environs Draft Local Area Plan 2009-2015 and include the following Land
