Zend Framework issue with Local instance of Site - php

Question

I've little to no experience working with Zend Framework 1 . Recently I was asked to make some changes to a sites functionality. So I decided that I would set up a local instance of the site to work on before deploying the changes to the live site.
The problem I am having is that when I go to the following url which is my local instance of the site: http://mysite.tld I am redirected to https://mysite.ie and I cannot figure out why.
Is it something to do with the htaccess file? because I removed the contents of this file in order to see if it had any impact and no joy.
Which made me thing that perhaps in Zend there is some setting which controls the environment?
This is my vhosts file on WAMP:
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerAdmin webmaster#localhost
DocumentRoot "C:\wamp\www\mysite.tld\public
ServerName mysite.tld
ErrorLog "logs/mysite.tld"
CustomLog "logs/mysite.tld" common
<directory "C:\wamp\www\mysite.tld\public">
Options Indexes FollowSymLinks
AllowOverride all
Order Allow,Deny
Allow from all
Allow from 127.0.0.1
</directory>
</VirtualHost>
This is my htaccess file
RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.tld/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mysite\.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.tld/$1 [L,R=301]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -s [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
If you require any more details from the project I can post them here, I'd appreciate any help as I am at a loss as to whats going on.

The following rule performs the redirect from http to https equivalent
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.tld/$1 [L,R=301]
This one redirects to www.mysite.tld if domain name is not already that one
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.mysite\.tld$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ https://www.mysite.tld/$1 [L,R=301]
If you're running it locally, you should comment those 4 lines of code.
Then, you have to clear your browser's cache to see it working (because your old rules are now in cache).
