Time short for development proposals

Time is running out for anyone in Kilcullen who wants to make a submission on the next County Development Plan.

Submissions on a review of the Kildare County Development Plan 2005-2011 may be made up to July 10, as part of the review of the Plan and the preparation of a new one.

Like any other town and village in the county, the Development Plan can have a big impact on the future of Kilcullen and bears checking out.

Kildare County Council has prepared an 'Issues Paper' which identifies the key planning issues that the next Plan could address.

This paper can be viewed on the Council's website at www.kildare.ie/countycouncil

Copies are also available from Arus Chill Dara in Naas, the various Area Offices in Maynooth, Athy or Clane, and in the county's public libraries.

A public information workshop was held recently in the Kilcullen Heritage Centre aimed at helping people prepare submissions.

If you didn't make it, or didn't know about it, the basic rule is that submissions must be made in writing, marked 'County Development Plan Review', to Ann Rowan, Senior Executive Officer, Planning Department, Kildare County Council, Arus Chill Dara, Devoy Park, Naas, Co Kildare.

The closing date is 4pm on Friday 10 July 2009. All submissions must have the full name and address of the individuals or organisations making them.
