The Drogheda Independent reported this week that a planning application had been submitted for a large solar farm in Smithstown on land between the R133 and Beabeg land.

We checked the Meath County Council planning file and found that the application is invalid because the notices and drawings did not meet the required standard.

The developer now has to remove its notices and re-advertise the application before submitting new plans.
