Chapter 11 - Monitoring and Evaluation

11.1 Implementation of the Local Area Plan

The Plan sets out the Council’s vision and strategy for Patrickswell, including specific policy and objectives to provide a framework for the sustainable development of the village over the period 2024-2030. Regular monitoring of the progress made in relation to ensuring the effective delivery of the objectives set out in the Plan will take place. This will include a review of identified actions to be implemented within the timeframe of the Plan. Coordination between other key departments in the Local Authority will be critical in ensuring that those objectives relating to issues such as roads, housing and community development are achieved.

11.2 Local Area Plan Actions

The implementation of the Local Area Plan requires the cooperation and participation of all stakeholders. The Council will continue their leadership role in progressing and securing the policy and objectives of the Plan. The Council will also continue to foster a collaborative approach with citizens, communities, stakeholders, sectoral interests, government and non-government agencies to achieve collective support and successful implementation of the Plan. Table 4.2: Draft Patrickswell LAP Action Timeframe provided in Chapter 4 outlines the identified actions and associated lead responsibility, in implementing identified actions within the Plan timeframe. Some of these actions are outside the control of the Local Authority and will be dependent on private bodies (such as private housing) to be delivered.
