Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council would like residents, businesses, community groups and organisations and children (or groups or associations representing the interests of children) to give their views on the Draft County Development Plan 2016 – 2022.

The Draft Plan sets out Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council’s policies for the continuing sustainable development of the County for the coming years and has been prepared following a period of intensive consultation, which took the form of:

• public displays and open days
• meetings with stakeholders and service providers
• written submissions
• a series of briefing sessions for local Councillors
• a number of special Council meetings on the Chief Executive’s Draft Plan
• the making of the Draft County Development Plan

Your input in developing the Plan is important to ensure that the Final Plan both reflects, and responds to, public concerns and aspirations, as well as addressing the National and Regional strategies and guidelines required of us by legislation.
