Proposed Variation (No. 1) to the

County Donegal Development Plan 2024-2030

Pre-Draft Public Consultation

 

Donegal County Council has commenced the preparation of a Proposed Variation to the County Development Plan 2024-2030 to:

  1. Insert new Area Plans for An Clochán Liath (Dungloe), Ballyshannon, Bridgend, Carndonagh, Donegal Town and Killybegs into the Development Plan (to replace the current ‘Seven Strategic Towns Local Area Plan 2018-2024).  
  2. Amend the zoning of site NR2.16 at Cockhill, Buncrana – from ‘New Residential Phase 2’ to ‘New Residential Phase 1’.
  3. Amend land use zonings on foot of Residential Zoned Land Tax (RZLT) related landowner submissions, where appropriate, within affected settlements throughout Donegal.

Community input into the plan making process is vital and accordingly the Council is undertaking Pre-Draft Public Consultation between the 7th and the 28th of February 2025

An Issues Paper has been published to give an overview of the main issues in the settlements and stimulate debate.
