QUESTION NO. 23

QUESTION: Councillor F. Timmons

To ask the Chief Executive for a detailed report into a timeframe for the new County Development plan and to detail the stages and when Councillors can start submitting motions ? Also to outline the timeframe and stages in the development of the new plan ?

REPLY:

The formal review of the County Development Plan will commence on 31st July 2020 with an eight week public consultation process on the strategic issues for the plan. This is known as the ‘pre-draft’ stage. It is intended to give the Members a full briefing on the Plan process, timelines and stages in July before the commencement, at a date and time to be agreed with the CPG.

The Plan review and preparation is a 99 week process. The Draft Plan will go out on public consultation in July 2021 for a 10 week period. Councillors will be able to submit motions following the submission of the CE Report to the Members on the public consultation submissions at the various stages of the Plan. The first motions will be on the strategic direction of the plan in early 2021 and will follow from the public consultation at the pre-draft stage and the associated CE Report.
