Planning Development • Dublin Regional Group – 2030 Strategy Integration. • School Liaison Committee - Department of Education and Science. • North Fringe Development Forum – Dublin City Council and Fingal County Council Fingal Heritage Plan The Heritage Plan is a five year action plan which deals with all aspects of our heritage including our wildlife, coast and countryside, our architectural heritage, our archaeology, our local history and culture. The plan is prepared in conjunction with the Fingal Heritage Forum, and in consultation with the public. The work was adopted by the Council in July 2005. A total of ¤114,000 was spent by the Council on Heritage Plan projects in 2009. The Council also successfully competed for and received funding of over ¤35,000 from The Heritage Council. The implementation of the Plan is led by the Council’s Heritage Officer. During 2009 work was undertaken on a wide range of projects including the following: Heritage Plan Projects 2009 1. Assessing Fingal's Archaeological Resource. This project seeks to provide a comprehensive archaeological information database for Fingal. This will complement the statutory Record of Monuments and Places (RMP). Work is ongoing at present and due for completion by end March 2010. 2. Coastal Architectural Heritage Project. This project aims to identify and describe previously un-recorded buildings and structures of heritage value at the land-sea interface along the entire coastline of the County. The project will be completed in early 2010. 3. Management Plan for the Bog of the Ring. Located approximately 5 km south-west of Balbriggan in north Fingal, It is one of only two remaining large freshwater wetland sites in Fingal, and is a proposed Natural Heritage Area (pNHA). This project seeks to put in place a Management Plan for this important wetland site in a 2 year process. In year 1 (2009) an ecological assessment of the site has been undertaken to establish a current baseline and historical data has been analysed to better understand how the site has changed in the past. 4. Heritage Appraisal of the emerging Fingal Development Plan 2011-2017 Fingal County Council, in partnership with The Heritage Council, has engaged consultants to undertake a Heritage Appraisal of the Draft Fingal Development Plan 2011-2017. A review of the current Development Plan has been completed and this analysis will inform the preparation of the Draft County Development Plan. The Draft Development Plan will also be subject to the same process in 2010. 5. Heritage Week: The Council also supported Heritage Week in the county by providing limited support to a number of groups to run events and by advertising events taking place in the county in the local press.
