Across the way from St. Seachnaills near Lagore rd there's a big development of 96 houses and a creche. It looks like Hanson Wood is nearly done. The apartment block which was opposed by Maelduin residents got the go ahead in the green area. I think that'll be an overall negative for the area. And there's another two apartment blocks going in at the back of the aforementioned block. I've driven in there a few times and they'll have to stop the parking outside Apache Pizza soon! Lidl flying up also..... And that's not to mention all the developments going on the Dublin road. I just hope the developers and planners do it right.

I think an Aldi would be brilliant and doubt it would add much to traffic congestion. If anything, it would ease the mayhem around supervalue on a Saturday afternoon :pac: The parking outside Tara News, Post office etc is a joke at this stage and as i understand it, The owner is in advance talks with MCC to take over it. But in all, I think the recent developments in Dunshaughlin is a good thing and long over due.

I'm looking for a space for my baby late this year or early next year so would love to know who's opening it. I know there's two childcare facilities being built over the next year. One in The Willows on the Dublin Road and another in the new development near St. Seachnail's. Not sure when they'll be up and ready though.

With regard to Aldi, perhaps they are hedging their bets and just applying for both areas to be on the safe side. There doesn't seem to be as big of a push/groundswell of support for Aldi in Dunshaughlin as there was for Lidl. So they may well have better luck getting into Ratoath.

Coincidentally enough re the above article, he pulled out his phone and showed us exactly the land zoned for development. It basically stretches from the field between The Willows and the soccer pitch and wraps across the back of the business park, Maldeuin and up to the Lagore Road. He said over 700+ houses were ear marked for building there. He just said the land in zoned, but no planning permission has been applied for and it would be a good few years before most of the houses are built. I can't see why it wouldn't be granted. Not sure if this level of expansion is a good thing or bad...
