County Development Plans? What are they?

Are any developments happening in your area? How does your environment impact on you?  Are you interested in urban renewal? What planning if any is proposed for your county? If so, pay attention!

The County and City Development Plans are plans that each Local Authority in the republic must produce by law, every 6 years.  As one Development Plan is produced the draft of the next is underway. A continual process. These documents are pricey for an individual to purchase costing in excess of €200 per Plan, but do not fret.

Dublin City Public Libraries have available a full collection of County and City Development Plans in the Business Information Centre. Just come in and ask us!

These glossy and colourful reports contain social, economical, cultural guidelines for every county, and are certainly worth looking at. I am not a book worm myself (until recently when I purchased new book shelves) but I do find these reports enthralling to look at.  The coloured maps alone detail all proposed developments for each county. 

It is up to you to shape your suburbs, towns and counties. Do not let others shape your future!

What more can I say!
