CLOSED


Kildare County Council is commencing the review of the current Kildare County Development Plan 2017-2023 and is preparing a new County Development Plan 2023-2029 that will set out the framework to guide future development in the County up to 2029 and beyond.

The Pre Draft Issues Paper consultation phase has commenced and will run for an 8-week period from the 11th January 2021 to 8th March 2021.  Join the conversation and have your say in shaping the future development of County Kildare.

What is a County Development Plan?
The County Development Plan sets out an overall strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of County Kildare.  The Plan acts as a blueprint for the development of the county from a physical, economic, social and environmental perspective for a 6 year period.

How will my ideas and views inform the Plan?
Your views will help to shape the direction that the Development Plan will take.   Your submissions will be reviewed and summarised, and recommendations will be made in response to them.  This will be presented to the Councillors in the form of a Chief Executive’s report.  Your views will be published here on our planning portal.  The Chief Executive’s report will also be made available on the Council's website.
