Cllr Finola Armstrong McGuire asked for an outline of progress on the proposed Carrick-on-Shannon Town Area Development plan last week.
She commented that the history of working with Roscommon County Council “was not positive.” and she said the people of Cortober are concerned as they do not want to “fall between two stools.”
Senior Planner Bernard Greene said he shared the councillor's views on past experience with Roscommon local authority but the plan must be developed together.
The council said that until the Leitrim County Development Plan is near completion towards the end of this year, the formal process to commence the preparation of the draft Local Area Plan cannot commence until the county plan is finished.
The Forward Planning Team will begin preparatory work on the Local Area Plan whilst the draft County Development Plan is on display for the next 10 weeks.
Discussions will be held with Roscommon County Council and a meeting arranged to develop the process and timescale. A report outlining a timeline will be submitted to the Carrick-on-Shannon Municipal District when available.
Leitrim County Council said as 85% of the population of Carrick-on-Shannon lies in County Leitrim, this local authority will take the lead role, it is expected to take nine months in total to draft.
