Review of Sligo County Development PlanPre-Draft Public ConsultationOn Friday 17th April, 2009 Sligo County Council commences the process of reviewing its County Development Plan (CDP) and preparing a new Development Plan for County Sligo. The Plan will address a range of issues related to growth, land use and transportation, housing, economic development, infrastructural provision, community, social and cultural requirements, urban/rural regeneration and design, recreational amenities, protection of the natural and built heritage and preservation of the landscape character. Strategic Environmental AssessmentIn accordance with the provisions of the Planning and Development (Strategic Environmental Assessment) Regulations 2004, the County Council must carry out an environmental assessment as part of the preparation of a new development plan. For this purpose, the Council will prepare an environmental report of the likely significant effects on the environment of implementing the new plan, following the procedure indicated in articles 13C to 13J of the SEA Regulations. Public ConsultationThe CDP review process will take two years to complete and will involve three stages of public consultation. As part of the first stage, the County Council is engaging in pre-draft consultation with the general public and a wide range of organisations and interest groups in order to inform the policies and objectives of the new plan. Suggestions or observations are invited from anyone with an interest in the future development of Sligo. Community groups of all types are encouraged to contribute to the drafting of the new CDP. Guide to the Review of the CDPTo assist the public in making suggestions and observations, the County Council has prepared a Guide to the Review of the Sligo County Development Plan. During the consultation period, copies of the guide and of the current CDP may be inspected or purchased Monday to Friday (excluding bank and public holidays) at the following locations:
