Councillors approved the Local Area Plan for Corca Dhuibhne 2020-2026 in December 2020.

This plan included a proposal to zone land in Ballybeg as residential for the development of social housing, but the Office of the Planning Regulator recommended against this zoning.

Councillors proceeded with the plan, and the proposal to zone the land in Ballybeg as residential.
