Offaly County Council is to become the latest midland local authority to propose allowing development in villages, just two weeks after Laois councillors voted to rezone 1,000 acres in 29 villages. Councillors meet next Monday to discuss a proposal to include development plans for a number of villages in the county in their draft development plan, and there is all-party support for the plan. However, councillors say their proposals are not the same as Laois, and will not destroy the village ethos.
