Dundalk Local Area Plan 2025-2031

The Dundalk Local Area Plan was adopted by the members at a Special Council Meeting on the 6th March 2025. The Plan comes into effect on the 17th April 2025.

In order to ensure the Local Area Plan and County Development Plan are aligned a Variation to the County Development Plan will be required. Until this Variation has been adopted the Louth County Development Plan will take precedence over the Local Area Plan. A timeline for the publication of this Variation will be provided in due course.
