Public Consultation on the Amendments to Regional Economic and Spatial Strategy for the Southern Region.
In December 2018 the Southern Regional Assembly published the Draft Regional Spatial and Economic Strategy for the Southern Region (RSES) for public consultation. It can be view here http://www.southernassembly.ie/regional-planning/public-consultation-on-the-issues-paper-for-the-regional-spatial-and-econom.
Following receipt of submissions the Regional Assembly decided to make amendments to the Strategy. It was deemed that a number of amendments were material and as such, would require further public display period in accordance with the requirements of section 24(8) of the Planning and Development Acts 2000-2018.
The Proposed Material Amendments and associated Environmental Reports have been placed on public display and are available to view at the offices of the Southern Regional Assembly in Waterford and at all constituent Local Authority Planning Department offices between Thursday 12th September 2019 and Friday 11th October 2019 (both dates inclusive).
