Rezone plans put on hold by officials

MOVES by politicians to rezone large tracts of land for housing near Adare are still on hold following the intervention of Limerick County Council planners.

The elected members of the council who have the power to rezone land favour opening up more sites near the village for housing.

However, the council officials ordered a Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) fearing over-development could environmentally damage the picture postcard heritage village.
