Shannon’s stand-alone town plan has been placed on public display by Clare County Council.
Up to now, Shannon has been incorporated into the South Clare Local Area Plan and dealt with beside other towns and villages locally.
Now, a draft Shannon Town and Environs Local Area Plan (2012-2018) has been published and will include Shannon town, airport lands, the Free Zone business park and other business parks.
Shannon councillor Gerry Flynn said the plan was a “very comprehensive document” that will influence “the future growth and development of Shannon”.
