Work has commenced reviewing the Bray Municipal District Local Area Plan 2018 – 2024 and preparing the new plan. The pre-draft public consultation began on Wednesday, November, 20th 2024 and will accept submissions until Wednesday, December 18th 2024.
Wicklow County Council intends to review the existing plan and prepare a new Local Area Plan for Bray Municipal District, which includes the settlements of ‘Bray Town and Environs’, ‘Enniskerry’ and ‘Kilmacanogue’. An online consultation portal has been created, which refers to the significant planning topics that the Local Area Plan will address. The portal can be accessed through wicklow.ie (consultation hub) and accepts submissions from Wednesday, November, 20th 2024, to Wednesday, December 18th 2024.
The Bray Municipal District Local Area Plan 2018 – 2024 is the current land use plan for the municipal district. It is available to view at wicklow.ie/Living/Services/Planning/Development-Plans-Strategies/Local-Area-Town-Settlement-Plans/Bray/Bray-Municipal-District-Local-Area-Plan-2018-2024.
