Stackallan Boyne Action Group has been formed by residents and businesses in the Greater Causetown, Stackallan, French Lange and Graigs Lane area in County Meath.
It has been formed to oppose the planning application (SA800365) by Royal Mushrooms Ltd to erect a massive industrial complex on an elevated site that will obliterate the agricultural landscape and would impact on Stackallan House Demense and other protected sites and structures. There is nothing Royal or Tasty as in fried mushrooms but the aim of the new complex is to manufacture substrate. The substrate will be manufactured from Chicken Manure including carcesses, Horse manure, straw and other chemicals and will consume a vast amount of water. The fermenting process releases stinking amonia that can be blown within a radius of up to 10 kilometers from the site. There is a high risk of pollution from this proposed complex and would cause devasation to the river Boyne. Local residents have strongly objected to the planning application and have lobbied Meath County Council. TD's from all parties and have offered their full support in objecting to the planning application. The impact this new complex may have on tourism, the environment and indeed the possiblity of illness and the reduction in quality of life for the residents should be the driving factor behind Meath County Councils decision to refuse the application.
