Kildare County Council announces the launch of Public Consultation for the Monasterevin Local Area Plan
Kildare County Council has commenced the preparation of a Local Area Plan for Monasterevin. This important plan will set out an overarching land use strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of Monasterevin over the lifetime of the Plan from 2025 to 2031. The plan will incorporate a framework for guiding the future development of employment, transportation, housing, community infrastructure and retail, and for protecting the town’s unique natural and built heritage.
To stimulate discussion and encourage public participation at this stage in this process, an Issues Paper has been prepared which sets out the key planning issues pertaining to Monasterevin. This is available to download from Kildare’s Consultation portal: https://consult.kildarecoco.ie/en/browse;
A ‘drop-in’ event will take place at the Monasterevin Council Hall, Main Street, Monasterevin from 4pm to 8pm on Thursday the 16th of May 2024 where Council staff will be available to answer general queries and provide guidance on the pre-draft consultation and plan-making process.
Submissions are invited from interested parties in relation to the Issues Paper over the next 6-week period, to be made before 4pm on Wednesday 22nd of May 2024.
