Stage 2 -Draft Plan

This stage consisted of 3 steps:

• Draft Plan Public Consultation (including the associated Environmental Reports)

• The preparation of a Chief Executive’s Report on the public consultation.

• The making of material alterations (changes) to the draft plan by the elected members.

In August 2023 the Council published a Draft County Donegal Development Plan 2024-2030, associated mapping, and associated Environmental Reports/Assessments for public consultation between the 4th of August and the 13th of October 2023.  A total of 281 persons/bodies made submissions during the public consultation. The Environmental Reports/Assessments were subsequently updated on foot of the Proposed Material Alterations and are available in the Documents page.

In January 2024 a Chief Executive’s Report was published which; listed the person or bodies who made submissions, provided a summary of the submissions, and gave the response/recommendation of the Chief Executive to the issues raised. 

The Chief Executive’s Report was considered by the Councillors prior to their making of Proposed Material Alterations (changes) to the Draft Plan. 

You can see the Draft Plan, the associated mapping, and the Chief Executive’s Report on the Draft Plan public consultation below.
