- TIPPERARY COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022 – 2028 VOLUME 1 i Message from the Cathaoirleach I am pleased to introduce the Tipperary County Development Plan 2022 – 2028. This Plan was made by the 40 elected members of Tipperary County Council on the 11th July 2022, and came into effect on 22nd August 2022. This new ‘whole-of-Tipperary’ Plan embraces inclusivity, quality-of-life and healthy placemaking, and will guide the sustainable development of Tipperary for the next 6 years. This is a plan for all of us, and a plan that recognises the unique character and strengths of county Tipperary across its unique culture, environment and community. This Plan will help support quality-of-life for Tipperary people by setting out a framework for affordable housing, job creation and the provision of amenities, services and infrastructure. It also recognises the challenges for current and future generations, in mitigating and adapting to a changing climate and economy, and in protecting our environment. I would like to thank all those who contributed to the preparation of the Plan including the many members of the public, and other stakeholders who made numerous submissions during the three public consultation phases over the two-year plan making process. The high level of stakeholder and public participation was welcomed, particularly given the challenges which we faced in the last few years due to the Covid-19 pandemic. I acknowledge the work of the 40 elected members who actively engaged and deliberated over the various stages of the plan-making process at many briefings, workshops and Council meetings and who ultimately made the final Plan. In providing strategic directions at an early stage in the plan-making process, the Elected Members influenced a Plan that recognises the unique character of our county and its towns, villages and rural areas. I wish to particularly thank my predecessors Councillor Marie Murphy and Councillor Michael Smith who were Cathaoirligh at earlier stages of this process. Finally, I would like to thank the Chief Executive and officials across all departments in the Council who provided advice and informed debate on relevant matters, in particular the Planning Department team. Councillor Roger Kennedy, Cathaoirleach of Tipperary County Council
- TIPPERARY COUNTY DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2022 – 2028 VOLUME 1 ii Message from the Chief Executive The County Development Plan is one of the most significant policy documents delivering on the goals as set out in Tipperary County Council`s Corporate Plan while operating as a blueprint for the future development of our county. The publication of this Plan marks the culmination of a two-year process whereby the Plan was made by the Elected Members of Tipperary County Council with the advice of the executive and in consultation with the public. This Plan is historic as it is the first ever all-county plan prepared for Tipperary, setting out a progressive and sustainable vision for our county. The ‘Core Strategy’ in this County Development Plan recognises that we must prepare for and support a climate resilient, sustainable and low-carbon Tipperary. The lifetime of this Plan extends to 2028 which aligns local policies with the timeframe for meeting national emissions reductions targets by 2030. Towns and villages are the backbone of a vibrant county, and the Plan provides a strategy for their future climate resilient, compact and economic growth, along with the provision of affordable and quality homes, tailored to community needs. The principle of both physical and digital connectivity is integral to where and how we live and work, and the ten-minute neighbourhood concept aims to ensure that we can choose to walk, cycle or use public transport to access our day to day needs and services. The Plan focuses on a healthy natural environment, biodiversity, culture and heritage, landscape and infrastructure as important elements in our sustainable future and quality-of-life. The development of a sustainable rural economy based on agriculture, the bioeconomy and renewable energy production is supported as uniquely important to Tipperary. I would like to thank the Elected Members of Tipperary County Council and my colleagues in our Planning and Development Directorate who have worked in close partnership over the past two years on the preparation of this Plan. I would also like to express my appreciation to our communities and other stakeholders who actively engaged at all times throughout the plan-making process. Joe MacGrath, Chief Executive of Tipperary County Council
