Draft Clondalkin Local Planning Framework

We welcome your submissions 

South Dublin County Council (SDCC) propose to make a Local Planning Framework (LPF) for Clondalkin. As part of this process, SDCC invites submissions through this online portal and all submissions will be reviewed appropriately. This LPF incorporates a framework for guiding the future development and growth of Clondalkin.

The Draft Clondalkin LPF is the planning document that your councillors will be asked to consider at a meeting in December. The full Draft Clondalkin LPF can be found directly underneath the 'Home' link on the right-hand side of this screen. Likewise, each individual chapter can also be found on the right-hand side of the screen in a list format.

The Draft Clondalkin LPF is accompanied by:

• A Strategic Environmental Assessment (SEA) Environmental Report
• Environmental Report Non-Technical Summary
• A SEA Screening Report
• A SEA Screening Determination
• An Appropriate Assessment (AA) Screening Report
• An Appropriate Assessment Screening Determination.
• A Strategic Flood Risk Assessment (SFRA) Report

The Draft Clondalkin LPF is supported and informed by:

• Architectural Conservation Area (ACA) Appraisals (Clondalkin Village, Saint Brigid's Cottages, Ninth Lock and Ballymanaggin)
• A Conservation Plan.
• A Local Transport Plan.
