Relevant Matter Zoning or development

Public Policy Area Development and Zoning

Period 1 Sep, 2021 to 31 Dec, 2021

Specific Details On behalf of the owners of Limerick One Shopping Park, Childers Road, Limerick, our organisation contacted councillors in Limerick City & County Council requesting the proposed rezoning of the Park is rejected as the current zoning allows the Park to trade successfully, provide an attractive and diverse retail offer to the local community. The proposed rezoning disadvantages the businesses that trade in the Park and the residents/local community who shop and work at the Park.

Intended results The rejection of the proposed rezoning of Limerick One Shopping Park. We have invited the opportunity to discuss the matter further.
