Court dismisses challenge to Aldi planning permission in Meath

A challenge to planning permission for a new Aldi supermarket in Laytown, Co Meath, has been dismissed by the High Court.

Eoin Kelly, a structural engineer whose family home was in Laytown and who now resides in nearby Bettystown, brought judicial review proceedings against An Bord Pleanála over its September 2017 decision to permit the demolition of a disused nursing home at Strand Road and replace it with a 1,729 metre Aldi store and car park.
