Your Village | Your Voice

Shaping the Future

Ards and North Down Borough Council is currently developing a new Village Plan for Ballygowan. The Village Plan is a non-statutory document which outlines the long-term goals, objectives, and vision for the village. The actions identified in the Village Plan help to co-ordinate development efforts, prioritise investment and ensure there is a clear vision for the future of Ballygowan.

The development of the new Village Plan consists of three key stages:

Stage 1 - Extensive Public Engagement (May 2024 to September 2024) - completed

Stage 2 - Desktop Data Analysis | Draft Priorities Consulted (October 2024 to March 2025)

Stage 3 - Launch of Village Plan 2025-2035 (Autumn/Winter 2025)

(Timelines are subject to change)
