What is the Development Plan
The Development Plan is a blue print for the planning and development of the Galway City for the next six years. For example, it sets out where roads, water supplies, sewage are to be provided and it zones land for a particular purpose (housing, shopping, industry, commercial etc.) This will affect what type of buildings can be constructed and the use to which land can be put. It affects may facets of daily economic and social life - where you can live, what services are available and where developments with job opportunities are to be sited.
