Provide for and facilitate rural-related business which has a demonstrated need for a rural location
Provide a location for the development of business within the rural area which is directly related to the rural location and to the agricultural or horticultural sectors. Such business involves either the processing of produce of which a significant portion is sourced locally or support services for the local agricultural or horticultural sector. Provide a balance between the need for competitiveness and efficiency within the agricultural and horticultural sectors and the need to protect and promote the values of the rural area.
What you can build
The objective above sets the purpose of the zone. The Fingal Development Plan 2023–2029 lists, for each zone, the uses that are generally allowed and the uses the council will consider case by case. Check that table, and any local area plan, before you rely on RB (Rural Business) for a project.
