Development Land for Sale in Athboy, Meath - Kildalkey Road, Athboy, Co Meath C15 WN5V

PRIME DEVELOPMENT OPPORTUNITY

SUMMARY DESCRIPTION
This superb zoned site incorporates c. 1.39 hectares, otherwise 3.43 acres (SM) approximately or thereabouts, being essentially rectangular in shape and bounded on two sides by public road. This holding adjoins similarly zoned `G1` lands along its north-western boundary and by farmland on its south-western side. A prime and exciting development opportunity, convenient to the town centre, the subject lands currently essentially incorporate soccer playing and training grounds.

LOCATION
The subject site is situated fronting a local road, the Kildalkey Road, some 240 metres from Athboy`s Main Street, which forms part of the N51. Athboy, a well-established, expanding and bustling small town, provides for all the essential services to include many shopping, educational (early childcare, primary and post-primary educational campuses), hospitality and sporting as well as employment, recreational and ecclesiastical facilities, both within the town and in the surrounding hinterland. The Rathcairn Gaeltacht is close by too.

Navan, the county town of Meath, is located some 18km to the east of Athboy, and both the heritage towns of Trim and Kells lie some 12km equidistant, to the southeast and north respectively. Between them, they provide for a wider array of facilities and services. The M3 (Junction 9 / Navan North / N51) is located some 13km to the east, Dublin`s M50 (Junction 6 / Blanchardstown / M3) is situated some 48km to the south east and Dublin City Centre is located some 57km to the south east too.

ZONING
The subject lands are zoned `G1 Community Infrastructure` as part of the current Meath County Development Plan, 2021-2027.

The said plan defines:
`G1 Community Infrastructure
Objective: To provide for necessary community, social, and educational facilities`

Permitted Uses:
Allotments, Car Park (incl. Park and Ride), Cemetery/Crematorium, Children Play / Adventure Centre, Childcare Facility, Community Facility / Centre, Cultural Facility, Education, Health Centre, Hospital, Leisure / Recreation / Sports Facilities, Place of Public Worship, Playing Pitches, Playgrounds, Recycling Facility (Civic & Amenity), Utilities.

Open for Consideration Uses:
Bring Banks, Funeral Home, Gymnasium, Halting Site / Group Housing, Healthcare Practitioner, Residential / Sheltered Housing, Restaurant / Café, Retirement Home / Residential Institution / Retirement Village, Telecommunication Structures.

OPPORTUNITY / POTENTIAL
The subject holding appears to have significant development potential. Having `G1 Community Infrastructure` zoning, it adjoins a similar `G1` zoned site, being the subject of a recently completed development providing for 28 no. `age-friendly` homes understood to be granted under a Part 8 planning consent whereby Meath County Council granted itself permission, reference: P822003 (Convent Lands, Kildalkey Rd, Athboy).

Moreover, an application could be made to the local authority in order to seek rezoning under the soon to be reviewed Meath County Development Plan. From a speculative and value optimisation perspective, we believe a residential re-zoning would be most suitable and lucrative.

PROCESS
All interested parties are requested to submit an offer on or before 3.00pm Wednesday 15th October 2025.
