Construction BUSINESS

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council has commenced a 6 week pre-draft public consultation process on a new Local Area Plan (LAP) for Ballyogan and Environs. Following this consultation period, a draft LAP will be produced to help frame development in the area over the coming 6 years. The areas covered will include Ballyogan, Kilgobbin, The Gallops/Glencairn (Leopardstown) and parts of Carrickmines and Stepaside.

This part of the county, located between the M50 and the Dublin Mountains, has seen significant population increases in recent years, and with undeveloped zoned lands within its boundaries, is likely to see more development in the years to come. The LAP that is to be drafted following this public consultation will guide this development.

The consultation process includes an Issues Paper, an Online Survey, an interactive suite of online maps (Story Map) and Public Information Meetings. Details on all these aspects of the process can be found here.

Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council welcomes engagement in this process. This consultation period ends on Thursday 24th May 2018.

It is an objective of the 2016-2022 County Development Plan to prepare a Local Area Plan for Ballyogan and Environs. The area covered by the plan covers 420 hectares, which equate to 7% of the zoned lands in Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown. The area covered by the plan includes 76 hectares of undeveloped residentially zoned land.
