Urban and Regional Structure Plans

A Structure Plan or Integrated Land Use Plan is a tool for guiding development within a town or a region for a period of time being 15, 20 or 30 years. Structure Plans are not a statutory document and can be adapted if and when required. The plan is to be transparently prepared in close consultation with Local Authority and the community. The aim of the plan is to guide urban development over a long term while also informing the public and investors of the vision for the town.
