The submission is made by Hendrik W van der Kamp, Town Planner on behalf of Mullingar Chamber of Commerce.
This submission has been prepared on behalf of the Mullingar Chamber of Commerce in response to the published draft County Development Plan. The submission relates to the Core Strategy element of the written statement.
The submission is based on a concern of the economic interests in the town that the core strategy is deficient in terms of level of detail and that it underestimates the growth in population in the county that is likely to take place during the period of the Development Plan. The submission suggests a more realistic population projection that could be adopted. In this regard it is relevant to note that the town of Mullingar offers significant scope for employment development and housing accommodation. Population growth can be accommodated to achieve the national policy objective of compact urban growth.
