Wicklow county councillors voted last night to reverse the controversial rezoning of a 172-acre site for a film studio and commercial development near Ashford.
A number of councillors said they were misled regarding the original proposals. At a council meeting members rejected a scaled down proposal due to a lack of detail in the plans.
The proposal was one of 17 under review last night after 16 had been called into question by professional planners after they were passed last July.
It was initially suggested to councillors that Ardmore Studios Ardmore Studios was planning to relocate there and would move out of its Bray, Co Wicklow, site if a new home was not found.
It was later found that Ardmore Studios had no plans to relocate.
Yesterday at a special meeting of the council to make final decisions on the development plan, councillors also voted to delete another controversial rezoning of a country field for a medical step-down facility.
They voted to retain a further seven rezonings, although some of them were significantly scaled back.
