Policy/Objective No. | Insert New Text - 2.5.1 South Dublin County Population - Baseline |
Text/Policy/Objective Amendment Wording | |
As per EMRA Requirements Insert new text after Table 4 to read: The population projections for the County over the plan period 2022 – 2028 have been applied in accordance with the RSES which has been guided by the National Planning Framework Implementation Roadmap. The Roadmap acknowledges the transition of implementing Development Plans and provides scope to bring forward population figures of +25% up to 2026. This simply allows the 2031 targets to be front loaded, it does not provide for the exceedance of the 2031 high figure. The Roadmap outlines South Dublin as a County where this adjustment can be applied. The 2022 – 2028 Development Plan has applied this population adjustment in light of strong construction activity, completed residential units since 2016 and the continued demand for housing within the County. |

Policy/Objective No. | Vacant Sites - 2.6.7 Monitoring of Growth / Active Land Management |
Text/Policy/Objective Amendment Wording | |
New Text under the heading Vacant Sites to be added to read: Vacant development sites are both a challenge and an opportunity for the County to provide additional housing, employment and other uses. Active land management, including the implementation of the vacant site levy, is key to realising the vision and objectives of the Core Strategy. The Urban Regeneration and Housing Act, 2015 provides for a levy to be applied on vacant sites in residential and regeneration zoned lands, which are suitable for housing but are not coming forward for development. The Act sets out two classes of land to which the levy may apply: Residential land, under Section 10 (2)(a) and Section 10(2)(h) of the Planning Act 2000 (as amended). In accordance with the Urban Regeneration and Housing Act, 2015, it is a key pillar of the Development Plan to promote the appropriate development and renewal of areas that are in need of regeneration, identified having regard to the Core Strategy, in order to prevent: adverse effects on existing amenities in such areas, in particular as a result of the ruinous or neglected condition of any land; urban blight and decay; anti-social behaviour; or a shortage of habitable houses or of land suitable for residential use or a mixture of residential and other uses. Under Housing Policy Objective 15.2 of Housing for All, a new tax to activate land for residential purposes, and which will in time replace the Vacant Site Levy, has been introduced by the Department of Finance and the Revenue Commissioners in conjunction with the Department of Housing, Local Government and Heritage. The Residential Zoned Land Tax provisions of the Finance Act 2021 set out criteria to facilitate the identification of lands which fall within the scope of the tax, the aim of which is to activate and bring forward the development of housing on lands that are suitably zoned and serviced, as indicated on maps to be prepared by planning authorities for their respective functional areas. These maps are to be based on the local authority development plan and where relevant, local area plan zoning maps. The Residential Zoned Land Tax will come into operation on 1st February 2024 and will replace the Vacant Site Levy, which will remain operational until the new tax measure comes into effect. |

Based on an assessment of employment on existing zoned land, there is potential for 31,824 jobs assuming an average of 51 jobs per hectare. In addition to the above, there is 425ha of Regeneration (REGEN) zoned brownfield land forming part of the Tallaght Town Centre LAP and the Naas Road area.
