Have your say on the new Clare County Development Plan
Closed for submissions
Submission deadline: Monday November 16, 2020
The Planning Department of Clare County Council has today (18th September, 2020) officially commenced the process of preparing the new Clare County Development Plan for the period 2022-2028.
The County Development Plan sets out an overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the county over a six-year period. Every six years, the Planning Authority is legally obliged to make a new County Development Plan, which must set out the strategic spatial vision and future direction for the County.
It is essential to have your say from the very start, which is right now!
There are various stages involved in the preparation of a Development Plan and we are at the very first stage, which is Stage 1 (‘Pre-Draft’) and includes the first of a number of opportunities throughout the two-year review process for everyone to have their say. Your participation at this early stage in the plan preparation process is crucial so the plan can address our collective aspirations for the county.
This is your plan, your opinion matters, play your part
We need you, as individuals, the communities and organisations you represent, schools, businesses and stakeholders, to get involved and help us plan for the future of County Clare.
An Issues Paper and video presentation have been prepared to stimulate debate on some of the key priority issues for the county over the next six years, which are set out under a number of broad headings, but are by no means exhaustive.
Watch a video presentation on the Clare County Development Plan review process.
We’re looking for your opinion...
…on the ‘big picture’ strategic issues, so proposals or requests for zoning of particular lands will not be considered at this stage. There will be an opportunity to make submissions on zoning later in the process.
Submissions or observations can be made between 18th September and 16th November, 2020, inclusive. The deadline for submissions is 4:00 p.m. on Monday, 16th November, 2020. Further information and updates will be available on Clare County Council Twitter, Instagram and Facebook pages and at https://clarecdp2023-2029.clarecoco.ie/
