Planning Section

The Planning Section deals with the Planning and Development of New Ross Town. The Council is obliged to make a Development Plan and review the plan at least every six years. The plan consists of a written statement and a series of maps.

The Plan seeks to develop and improve in a sustainable manner the social, economic, cultural and environmental assets of the town and environs.
