Meath Co. Co. Planning Reference SA/40211 Goode Concrete Ltd. Quarry Ford de Fyne, Naul Co. Meath

Goode Concrete Ltd are proposing to develop a 65 acre concrete batching plant & quarry at Ford de Fyne, Naul, on Meath Dublin border on the narrow road to Fourknocks Megalithic Tombs, with traffic travelling via Naul to M1 Motorway and south towards Ashbourne (Oldtown /Garristown).
There will be an additional 200+ truck movements per day (6.30 am to 7pm), 6 days a week for the next 20 years ?
The approval of development will show a disregard for principal historic site Fourknocks by the County Council (if viewed by visiting Tourists). Tour companies will not wish to dodge HGV traffic and see countryside devastated by a quarry on the way to Fourknocks.
With regard to impact on Archaeology, the proposed development would destroy the existing Mound Site in the quarry.

Consider the increased impact to Road safety, Health, Landscape, Environment (dust, noise), Water, River Delvin
