Chapter 20 Implementation and Monitoring

20.0  Introduction
 

Under the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended), Wicklow County Council has a statutory obligation and is fully committed to securing the implementation of the Wicklow County Development Plan 2021-2027.  

The implementation of this plan requires the cooperation and participation of all stakeholders and Wicklow County Council will undertake a leadership role to progress and secure the implementation of the plan. In providing a leadership role, the Council will aim to foster a collaborative approach with citizens, communities, stakeholders, sectoral interests, partners, Governmental and Non-Governmental agencies, and adjoining authorities to achieve the collective support and successful implementation of the plan. The implementation of the Plan is also dependant on a number of factors including Council funding and the availability of capital from other sources. Due to the uncertain economic climate as a result of COVID 19, the provision of funding may present a challenge in the years ahead. 

All of the objectives of the plan have been written with the specific aim of fulfilling the Development Plan Vision, desired ‘Strategic County Outcomes’ and the ‘Core Strategy’ of the plan, as set out in Chapters 2 and 3.  The County Development Plan Vision and Strategic County Outcomes are themselves broadly aligned with the Regional Strategic Outcomes of the RSES, the National Strategic Outcomes of the NPF, and the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals.
