What are Development Plans?

Development Plans provide an essential framework for guiding investment by public, private and community sectors and help harness additional resources through collaboration in tackling problems. They also:

• Provide confidence for those wishing to develop and those affected by development proposals;
   

• Establish a framework for positive co-ordination of public policies in joined-up government at both regional and local levels;
   

• Provide an effective land supply phased and allocated to meet the full range of needs to support the life of the local community and social and economic progress; and
   

• Establish a process for involvement and ownership by local communities wishing to influence the future development of their area.
   

• The Department will monitor existing plans and assess the need for new or altered plans. The programme of plan preparation is kept under review.
