County Council invites public to share thoughts on proposed changes to Development Plan

Starting tommorrow, Tipperary County Council is inviting the public to share their thoughts on proposed changes to the County Development Plan. This early review, part of a national effort to secure enough land for future housing, comes well ahead of the usual 2028 schedule.

The proposed changes will affect how land is used across all nine main towns: Tipperary, Cashel, Cahir, Thurles, Templemore, Roscrea, Nenagh, Carrick-on-Suir, and Clonmel. They will also affect the towns of Ballina, Newport, and Fethard. The changes will also apply to twelve other places with more than 400 people: Ardfinnan, Ballyclerihan, Borrisokane, Clogheen, Cloughjordan, Holycross, Killenaule, Mullinahone, Portroe, and Two-Mile-Borris.
