COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2 YEAR PROGRESS REPORT - FOR NOTING

REPLY:

Section 15 of the Planning and Development Acts outline that it is the duty of a planning authority to take such steps within its powers as may be necessary for securing the objectives of the Development Plan. In this regard, it is a requirement that a report is given to the members on the progress achieved in securing those objectives within the first two years of the development plan being made. The report and associated appendices attached to this headed item is in response to this requirement.

The two-year progress report starts with an overview of each chapter in the County Development Plan, enabling a snapshot of progress across the policies / objectives set out within the Plan, highlighting best practice examples of how objectives are being implemented across the County, associated learnings and status of progress. There are 1,042 combined policies and objectives in the County Development Plan, the report also provides a commentary on progress for each of the individual 878 objectives which is provided in Appendix 1.

Appendix 2 addresses additional green infrastructure objectives while Appendix 3 provides the findings of the Employment Lands Review, itself an objective of the Plan.

As part of the development of a monitoring system for the objectives of the County Development Plan, a Housing Supply Monitor has been created. This monitor will go live to the public as part of the 2 Year Progress Report.
