The Plan review process started with a pre-draft public consultation period from 7 December 2007 to 8 February 2008. This resulted in the First Manager’s Report SEDP – SEDP – First Manager’s Report (PDF) - 933 kbs , which was submitted to the elected members, who subsequently directed the Manager to prepare the Draft SEDP.

Having considered the proposals put before them, Sligo County Council and Sligo Borough Council at their special meetings of 17 November and 22 December respectively, approved the Draft Plan for publication.

The Draft Plan was put on public display from 9 February to 22 April 2009. During the public consultation period, the planning authorities received 172 submissions and observations. A further 32 submissions were received in relation to the Draft RPS.

The Second Manager’s Report on submissions and observations summarised all the issues raised and made recommendations as to whether the Draft Plan and Draft RPS should be modified or not. The Second Manager’s Report was supported by the Environmental Report: Addendum I.
