The public has until 4 pm tomorrow to lodge their submissions to the plan.
Public submissions for the Longford Draft County Development Plan are to close tomorrow evening.
Members of the public in Longford are being urged to have their say on the plans before tomorrow’s 4pm deadline.
County Development plans set out a framework for sustainable development in the county while considering the protection of the natural and built environment.
Regulations on issues such as rezoning, climate change, tourism and infrastructure are set out for the next 6 years.
The Ardagh Preservation Society is seeking to change recommendations included in the draft plan calling for the rezoning of Ardagh House and Demesne.
Members of the community fear the damage rezoning could have on future local heritage and tourism projects.
Society Secretary Francesca Pawelczyk says it’s vital that people across Longford check the plans for their local areas:
