The Kilsaran Quarry
Bellewstown Environmental Protection Group (BEPG) was originally formed to oppose Kilsaran’s latest planning application.
Kilsaran’s plan was to triple the output of its quarry on the Mullagh Road, and construct a new private highway across the north side of Bellewstown Hill.
The plan would result in thousands of HGVs going to and from the quarry every month across Bellewstown Hill, and then along the Hilltown Great Road/Beaumont Road (L1615) and over the historic monument and protected structure, Beamond Bridge
Status:
- Meath County Council had approved the application
- Bellewstown EPG engaged an experienced, qualified planning expert to submit an appeal to An Bord Pleanála and requested an oral hearing
- An Bord Pleanála has stated that it has refused the request for an oral hearing and has stated that a decision is due sometime in November 2023.
- Kilsaran withdrew the application from An Bord Pleanála in October 2024.
