Details of Inse Bay Mast
Many residents of East Meath will have noticed a telecoms mast that appeared beside the Inse Bay bus stop during the week. It appears that the mast didn’t get planning permission but was licensed by Meath County Council under legislation designed to permit tables and chairs outside restaurants. Unlike planning permission there is no notice or public submissions. It all takes place behind closed doors. In most case the first anyone knows about it is when the mast goes up.
The reasons we can see the planning history is because the council originally told the developer to notify local residents but the developer decided this was too much trouble and appealed to An Bord Pleanála to have this condition removed.
We have copied below some of the files from the planning decision
- Application to Meath County Council for Licence
- Meath Planner’s report
- Granted Licence

Settlement Capacity Audit – Standard Operating Procedure – February 2023
This Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) will outline the steps to be undertaken by Meath County Council in the preparation and publication of a Settlement Capacity Audit(s) (SCA) for County Meath. The SOP sets out the legislative requirement to prepare an SCA to inform the Council in respect of the land use strategy and application of the ‘Tiered Approach to Zoning’ as required by Appendix 3 of the National Planning Framework.
This document was produced by Meath County Council following our successful challenge to the over-zoning in the Southern Environs of Drogheda and will be used to inform the procedure to vary the plan to comply with the court ruling.
