High Court Order Removal Or Road Laid Without Permission
The director of a waste management company and his wife have been ordered to remove a 1.6km road built from waste material, without planning permission, in a Special Area of Conservation.
At the High Court Mr Justice John Hedigan made the orders against Seán Doyle, a director of Oxigen Environmental Ltd, and his wife Mary Doyle, concerning a road made from waste material from one of the firm’s facilities, built on lands owned by the couple at Portree and Ballymanus, near Vicarstown, Portlaoise.
Laois County Council sought the orders after arguing the roadway was an unauthorised development built on part of the Nore-Barrow SAC and posed a risk to the environment.
