A number of submissions had been made on the planning application, including from the "Residents of Grange Drive & Slieve Foy Park", "Slieve Foy Park Residents", objecting to the application for a number of reasons, including the impact on neighbouring dwellings and the proposed design and layout. Louth County Council made the decision on 11 August to refuse planning for the development.
