Future Development
The village development strategy is to facilitate the continued development of Ardfert as an independent viable village and to ensure that the nature and form of future development will enhance and protect its character and heritage. This will be achieved by:-
- Enhancing its function as a local service centre by encouraging additional commercial, civic and community facilities on mixed use sites within the village core.
- Encouraging a compact village structure to promote efficiency of service delivery.
- Identifying an area to act as a central focus and by developing an attractive public domain to facilitate community development.
- Facilitating the development of walking and cycling routes throughout the village and particularly from development areas to the village centre and service centres.
- Facilitating development that preserves and enhances the cultural, architectural and historic character of the village.

Famous quotes containing the words future and/or development:
“Self-kindled every atom glows,
And hints the future which it owes.”
—Ralph Waldo Emerson (1803–1882)
“For decades child development experts have erroneously directed parents to sing with one voice, a unison chorus of values, politics, disciplinary and loving styles. But duets have greater harmonic possibilities and are more interesting to listen to, so long as cacophony or dissonance remains at acceptable levels.”
—Kyle D. Pruett (20th century)
