Proposed Variation No.2 to the Kilkenny County Development Plan and Proposed Variation No.4 to the Kilkenny City & Environs Development Plan

 

In accordance with Section 13(3) of the Planning & Development Acts 2000-2017, notice is hereby given that Kilkenny County Council is proposing to vary both the Kilkenny County and City & Environs Development Plans 2014-2020.

These Variations propose:

 

To incorporate a revised mandatory objective (Objective 3A ) within the core strategy  in respect of the regeneration and re-utilisation of vacant sites and will facilitate the implementation of legislative actions to address undeveloped sites in Kilkenny County’. The proposed variation would, therefore, provide for ‘Active land management’ by means of the implementation of a vacant sites levy.
