Ireland: Ready Mix Concrete (Ireland) has lost its appeal against paying a €36,000 contribution to Louth County Council’s Development Contribution Scheme. The Argus newspaper has reported that Ready Mix Concrete (Ireland) must make the payment in order to continue its storage, access and water management activities at the Ballaverty and Mullaghattin sand and gravel pit. The Irish planning appeals body, An Bord Pleanála, found that Ready Mix Concrete (Ireland) had not been double-charged for its use of the land.
The company reportedly has no plans to resume extraction at the site. It can now continue its current activities up to 22 November 2029.
