Clarecastle residents are to be given an opportunity to contribute to the draft Ennis & Environs Development Plan 2008 at a public meeting next week.
Clare County Council will host the consultation event in Clarecastle Community Hall on Thursday 4 September.
Submissions and observations that relate to the future planning, development and provision of services in Ennis town and its environs are invited until 3 October 2008.
The draft plan also includes a draft Housing Strategy and a list of structures proposed to be included in the Record of Protected Structures.
The plan is due to be adopted by 8 December 2008 and will cover the period December 2008 to December 2014.
John Bradley from the Economic Development and Planning Department at Clare County Council, explained that the new Plan would be a blueprint for development for the Ennis & Environs area over the next six years.
"Ennis has been designated as a Hub town in terms of the Government's National Spatial Strategy and its growth over the past 7 years has far outstripped all other Hubs in Ireland.
"The Plan will also contain detailed proposals designed to improve the environment of Ennis town centre and new policies relating to land on the east side of the town prone to flooding," added Mr Bradley.
Further public consultation events will be held in Ennis in early September when members of staff will be on hand to answer questions.
Submissions to the draft Plan should be in writing. The closing date for submissions is 3 October 2008.
The draft Plan can be inspected at Ennis Library and Local Studies Centre, and at the Town Council and County Council offices where it is also available for purchase.
