Louth County Development Plan

November 11, 2025

The County Development Plan sets out the overall vision and strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the County. It consists of a Written Statement, Maps, Appendices, Record of Protected Structures, and Environmental Reports that sets out the policy framework and parameters against which development proposals are assessed. Louth County Council is commencing the review of the existing plan and preparation of a new County Development Plan 2027-2033.

This is only stage 2 (Pre-Draft Strategic Issues Paper) and requests or proposals for the zoning of land, for any purpose, cannot be considered at this Pre-Draft stage of the County Development Plan. These matters will be considered during a later time during the Draft Plan stage of the overall process.

Submissions for the Louth Development Plan 2027-2033 will close on Friday 21st November. Submissions can be made through the online portal https://consult.louthcoco.ie or in writing marked ‘Development Plan Review’ to Forward Planning Unit, Town Hall, Crowe Street, Dundalk, Co Louth A91 W20C
