The consultation process for the new County Development begins today, Friday, August 4 and lasts until Friday, October 13
Donegal County Council has published the Draft County Donegal Development Plan 2024-2030 (‘the Draft Plan’). A public consultation started today, Friday August 4 and will run until Friday, October 13
The draft plan sets out an overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of Donegal from 2024-2030, including background text and development objectives, policies, and land use zonings. It is accompanied by associated environmental reports.
Councillors agreed to publish it following a previous public consultation and with the support of the council’s planning section.
The public can read the Draft Plan and associated environmental reports and get involved by visiting www.donegaldevplan.ie
The draft plan will guide future planning and public investment decisions across a wide range of development areas including housing, economic development, climate change, transport infrastructure, renewable energy, and the management of our natural and built heritage.
It also includes area plans for Buncrana, Ballybofey-Stranorlar and Bundoran with associated development objectives, policies, and land use zonings.
The public can have their say on the draft plan and the council welcomes written submissions from all sections of society during the current consultation which runs for the next two and a half months. All submissions will be considered to inform the next stage of the process.
