Specific Details Wicklow Development Plan - Zoning restriction for our property

Intended results We own lands at the North Quay in Arklow, Co. Wicklow. Folio is Wicklow 44626F. There is no Eircode. We are arguing that the new SLO1 designation for our property in Arklow, Co. Wicklow limits the residential use of the site. And we are in a housing crisis. The zoning restriction makes no sense.
