Primary tabs

South Dublin County Council are commencing the review of the current South Dublin County Development Plan 2016-2022 and are preparing a new County Development Plan (the Plan) that will set out the framework to guide future development up to 2028. The Consultation phase has commenced and will run for an 8-week period from the 31st of July to the 28th of September 2020. Join the conversation and help shape the future development of Your County, Your Neighbourhood.

What is a County Development Plan?

The County Development Plan is a document that guides the future growth and development of the County.

How to Join the Conversation?

This is YOUR opportunity to contribute towards the first steps in shaping and directing the future growth and vision for YOUR County, YOUR Neighbourhood.

Join the conversation and let us know your views for the next South Dublin County Development Plan 2022-2028.

This is only the first stage of the plan making process. The conversation at this stage is strategic in nature, looking at the big picture issues when it comes to delivering a balanced land use plan – the County Development Plan - for South Dublin County and your neighbourhood. Eight key strategic issues have been identified, set out in the following pages as setting a framework for the future development of your County/Neighbourhood. We are looking for your views on such issues.

At this first stage of the Development Plan process submissions in relation to land use zoning cannot be considered. This will happen at the later Draft Plan stage, see the process timeline in this booklet.

How will my ideas / views inform the Plan?

Your views will help to shape the direction that the Development Plan will take. We will review your ideas/views, known as submissions, summarise and make recommendations on them. This will be presented to the Councillors in November 2020 in the form of the Chief Executive’s report. Your councillors will consider the report and provide direction and input to the draft Plan for publication in July 2021.

Your views will be published on our planning portal and website where the Chief Executive’s report will also be made available.
