Meath County Council has commenced the preparation of the overall Master Plan for lands in Navan off the Trim Road and Carraig Roads, which has been designated to provide for the extension of Navan Town centre and the potential location for the future Navan Central Rail Station as part of the new proposed Navan Rail Line.

These lands are zoned in the Meath County Development Plan 2021-2027 for primarily ‘Commercial Town or Village Centre’, mixed uses as well as community and open space. They predominantly include the area of Masterplan 6 and 9 as identified in the Development Plan.  

Currently underutilised, these lands have the potential to accommodate a major new town centre expansion area based on sustainable transport and will regenerate the site through the development of the Navan Central Rail Station and complementary commercial, retail and residential development. The rail station and a civic plaza in this new urban quarter will be a focal point in any future development, with commercial uses being complementary to the core retail area of the town.

 There is an opportunity for relevant stakeholders and the public to get involved in the plan making process through pre-draft consultation.

An online survey is available to complete on Meath County Council’s Online Consultation Portal  Consult https://consult.meath.ie/en/content/navan-town-centre-expansion-area-public-survey.  

The deadline for completion of the survey is Monday the 14^th of July 2025.
