Draft Ballymote Local Area Plan 2012-2018

Public consultation – 23 January to 5 March 2012

Sligo County Council has reviewed the Local Area Plan (LAP) for Ballymote and proposes to make a new LAP for the period 2012-2018.

After pre-draft consultation in November-December 2011, a Draft Plan has now been prepared, consisting of a written document and a set of maps. The Plan sets out land use zoning proposals and detailed objectives for housing, community needs, open space, enterprise and town-centre development. It also addresses issues such as transport, urban design and the protection of heritage assets.

Environmental assessment

Following screening and consultation with prescribed environmental authorities, the planning authority has determined that the implementation of Ballymote Local Area Plan is not likely to have significant effects on the environment. Therefore, Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) is not required.

An Appropriate Assessment (AA) Screening Report has also been prepared in accordance with the requirements of the Habitats Directive.

Copies of the SEA Screening Report,  the SEA decision and the AA Screening Report are available for inspection at the locations listed below.
