accessed from the N6 via an access road constructed by Lagan Cement Ltd,which feeds onto the national roads infrastructure via the N6 Galway toDublin Route and the N4 Sligo to Dublin route.

The portion of the lands that are the subject of this planning application arelocated in the main cement plant production area (as indicated on theenclosed Site Layout Plan).

3.2 Description of Existing Development & Planning HistoryLagan Cement Ltd has operated the Killaskillen Cement Plant and associatedlimestone and shale quarries on their lands at Killaskillen, Kinnegad, sinceAugust 2002. Existing planning permissions pertaining to the subject site aresummarised below.

3.2.1 New Cement Works and Associated Quarrying (MCC Reg. Ref: 98/2026)Planning permission was granted by Meath County Council in April 1999 forthe erection and operation of a new cement works and associated quarryingof limestone and shale at Killaskillen, Kinnegad, Co. Meath (MCC Reg. Ref:98/2026). This permission was the subject of an appeal to An Bord Pleanala,who subsequently upheld the decision of the Planning Authority and grantedpermission for the development on 26 April 2000, subject to 24 no. conditions(ABP Ref. PL17.111198). The original Cement Plant and associated activitieswere also licensed by the EPA in 2000 (IPC Licence No. 487).

3.2.2 Facilities and Control Buildings (MCC Ref. Refs. FSOll40, FSO1141, FSOl142)On 19 October 2001 Meath County Council granted planning permission toLagan Cement Ltd for the construction of a two-storey administrative building(MCC Reg. Ref. FSOl140), a three-storey control building (MCC Reg. Ref.

- FSOl141), and a single-storey facilities building (MCC Reg. Ref. FSOll42).

3.2.3 Extension to Shale Quarry and Associated Works (MCC Reg. Ref. TA/20196)On 21 October 2002 Meath County Council granted planning permission(subject to 17 conditions) for an extension to the permitted shale quarry andassociated works at the Lansdown Cement Plant to provide for extraction ofan additional 500,000 tonnes of materials per annum. The EPA issued arevised licence (IPC Licence No. 665) approving the proposed productionincrease in November 2003.

3.2.4 Workshop and Storage Building (MCC Reg. Ref. FS02189)On 13 June 2003 Meath County Council granted planning permission toLagan Cement Ltd for the construction of a single-storey workshop andstorage building (MCC Reg. Ref. FS02189).

3.2.5 Kiln Capacity Increase and Regularisation of layout Changes (MCC Reg. Ref.TA40228)On 16 August 2004 Meath County Council granted planning permission(subject to 14 conditions) for an increase in the processing capacity of thecement kiln at Lansdown Cement Plant from the permitted processing rate of450,000 tonnes per annum to 600,000 tonnes per annum: planning permissionwas also granted for the regularisation of a number of layout changes fromthe permitted development, including a redistribution of buildings andstructures within the main processing area and a reorganised materialhandling area.

4.0 RATIONALE FOR THE PROPOSED DEVELOPMENT

A detailed rationale and consideration of alternatives is provided in the EISsubmitted with this planning application. In summary, the rational for theproposed change of fuel is twofold. Firstly, the cement plant is currentlypowered by the burning of coal, oil and pet coke. The use of these fossil fuelscontributes significantly to the greenhouse gas emissions (particularly Con)from the facility. In an effort to reduce the level of these emissions, LaganCement Ltd propose to replace up to 45% of the coal it currently burns withmeat and bone meal. Replacing fossil fuels with a renewable, carbon-neutralfuel will result in a significant decrease in mass emissions of greenhouse gasesfrom the facility, thereby contributing significantly to the objectives of theNational Climate Change Sfrategy and to the achievement of Ireland’sgreenhouse gas emission targets under the Kyoto Protocol.

In addition to the significant benefits from a reduction in greenhouse gases,the change of fuel is also proposed as a safe and sustainable method ofmanaging waste associated with meat production, an important sub-sectorof the Irish agri-food industry. Meat production in Ireland currently accountsfor over fl.8 billion in exports each year; it also produces approximately150,000 tonnes of MBM annually. This MBM is currently exported abroad forincineration, usually to Germany (where it is used as a fuel in cement kilns) orto the UK (where it is burned for energy recovery).

5.0 PLANNING AND SUSTAINABLE DEVELOPMENT CONTEXT

5 . 1 Strategic Planning ContextAs detailed in Section 4.2 of the EIS accompanying this planning application,the proposed development fully accords with strategic national and regionalpolicies regarding waste management and climate change. The policies areas fol lows:

0 National Sustainable Development Strategy (1997)l Waste Management - Changing Our Ways, (September 1998,

Department of Environment and Local Government). “Preventing and Recycling Waste: Delivering Change” (2002). “Waste Management, Taking Sfock and Moving Forward” (2004)l Nor31 Easf Waste Management Planl National Climate Change Strategy for Ireland (DOELG, October 2000),l National Allocation Plan (EPA)

5.2 Statutory Planning Context (Meafh County Developmenf Plan, 2001)The subject lands are located within the administrative area of Meath CountyCouncil; the proper planning and sustainable development requirements ofthe area are therefore set out in the zoning objectives and provisions of theMeatb County Development Plan 2001, which is the statutory developmentplan for the area.

Key provisions established in the Development Plan in relation to theproposed change of fuel are summarised below.

5.2.1 ZoningThe subject lands are not included within the zoned boundary of Kinnegad(which is within the administrative boundary of Westmeath County Council)and are, therefore, classed as ‘white lands’ for planning purposes.

However, the extractive and manufacturing industry operations on site are anestablished use, given the construction and operation of the Lagan CementPlant at this location since 2000.

5.2.2 Building Materials Production PolicyThe Development Plan sets out policies in relation to the ExtractiveIndustry and Building Materials Production in Section 3.5.7 (p. 55). ThePlan states:

‘Meat/-r contains a variety of natural resources such as buildingmaterials products in the form of sand, grave/, stone reservesincluding high purity limesfones and shale used in cement andmagnesia manufacture and base metal deposits. Thepotential of these resources to underpin construction outputand provide employment and economic growfh in the focaland regional economy is recognised as is the need fo exploitthese in an environmenfally sound and sustainable manner.

It is an objective of the planning authority to facilifate fheexploitation of the country’s natural resources and to exercisecontrol over the types of development taking place in areascontaining proven or potential deposits. ’

It is submitted that the proposed fuel change represents an environmentallysound and sustainable exploitation and working of natural resources as calledfor in the Development Plan and that it is therefore supportive of the County’spolicies in relation to the building materials production industries.

5.2.3 Renewable Energy PolicyThe Development Plan also sets out policies in relation to Renewable Energy(Section 3.5.7, p. 55), establishing:

‘Alternative and renewable energy sources such as windpower, small hydro schemes, and other types are emerging aspotenfial significant contributors to national targets in relafionto reducing carbon dioxide emissions and according with theKyoto Protocol. It will be the policy of the Planning Authority tosupporf the development of such sources where it is consistentwith the proper planning and development of an area.’

The proposed development is an alternative energy source that would leadto a significant reduction in carbon dioxide emissions (as detailed in Section9.0 of the EIS) and is wholly in keeping with the proper planning anddevelopment of the subject area. In this regard, it is submitted that theproposed development is in full compliance with renewable energy policiesas set out in the Development Plan.

5.2.5 Site Development StandardsSection 3.6.16 of the Development Plan states, in relation to extractive industryand building materials production, establishes that:

Protected Structures, Views, and AreasThere are no Protected Structures on site, and the site is not located within aConservation Area, an Area of Archaeological importance, or andGeological Importance. There are no Protected Views to or from the site.

The proposed development is in full compliance with the objectives andpolicies regarding extractive industries contained in the County DevelopmentPlan.

‘It will be required that development proposals are framedsuch as fo address in an authorifafive manner issues suchUS:

0 The protection or conservation of water resourceswhether above or under ground,

l Effective control of gaseous emissions and dust,l Noise and vibration and subsidence,l Transportation impacfs,l Restoration and landscaping,l Protection of identified geological or

geomorphological heritage features,l Provision of adequate securities fo ‘self police’

compliance.

As noted above, no new structures or excavations are proposed as part ofthis application, thereby eliminating the potential for issues related tosubsidence, restoration and landscaping. These issues, as well as thoserelated to self-regulation in regards to compliance, are fully addressed inprevious planning permissions related to the subject site. Further, as detailedin the EIS accompanying this application, the proposed change of fuel wouldnot have any significant, adverse impacts on water resources, gaseousemissions and dust, transportation, or noise.

In summary, it is submitted that the proposed change of fuel would help fulfilobjectives established in relation to renewable energy in the DevelopmentPlan, would be in full compliance with extractive and building materialsindustry objectives and site development standards, and would result in theproper planning and sustainable development of the area.

Pre-Lodgement ConsultationDetails of the proposed development have been discussed with the PlanningDepartment, Meath County Council, prior to the submission of thisapplication. A pre-planning consultation took place between Mr JohnGallagher (Lagan Cement Ltd.), Mr Gavin Lawlor (Tom Phillips + Associates)and MS Wendy Moffett, Senior Executive Planner, Meath County Council, onMonday, 7 March 2005. The following agreements were reached with MSMoffett:

l The extent of drawings required to validate the permission. These includea site location map (scale 1:2500, and site location plan taken from anarea indicated on the site location map (scale 1:500). No other drawingsare required, as no new buildings are proposed as part of this application.
