PLANNING AND DEVELOPMENT ACTS
2000-2006 (SECTION 13)
NOTICE OF PROPOSED DRAFT
VARIATIONS OF THE DUBLIN CITY
DEVELOPMENT PLAN 2005-2011
(VARIATIONS NO. 46 & NO.47)
Notice is hereby given pursuant to Section 13 of the Planning and
Development Acts 2000-2006 that Dublin City Council, being the
Planning Authority for Dublin City, has prepared two proposed Draft
Variations of the Dublin City Development Plan 2005-2011 in accordance
with the objectives of the Liberties Local Area Plan:
The Liberties Local Area Plan was adopted at the City Council Meeting of
the 11th of May 2009. The Plan seeks the sustainable regeneration of the
Liberties area with detailed proposals for key redevelopment sites. Section
8.5 sets out the rationale for a range of land use zoning recommendations,
which will contribute towards the implementation of the overall LAP
strategy. It is proposed to change the land use zoning of 2 key
development sites identified in the Liberties Local Area Plan as follows:
Variation No. 46: Location: Vicar Street (Square)
Existing Zoning: Z5, which reads; 'to consolidate and facilitate the
development of the central area, and to identify, reinforce and
strengthen and protect its civic design character and dignity'.
Proposed Zoning: Z9, which reads, ‘To preserve, provide and
improve amenity and open space’.
Reason: To facilitate the achievement of the objectives of the LAP
set out in section 7.2. i.e. - to provide for a new communal open
space (including playground) as set out in the strategic layout for
this area in section 7.2 of the plan (also set out in the public realm
strategy).
Variation No. 47: Location: Newmarket – between Cork Street and
Mill Street.
Existing Zoning: Z6, which reads ‘to provide for the creation and
protection of enterprise and facilitate opportunities for employment
creation’.
Proposed Zoning: Z10, which reads ‘To consolidate and facilitate the
development of inner suburban sites of mixed use development of
which office, retail and residential would be the predominant uses’.
Reason: To facilitate the achievement of the objectives of the LAP
set out in section 7.8. The plan encourages a more appropriate mix
of uses around Newmarket Square to revitalise the area by way of
more active frontages.
A copy of the proposed Draft Variations will be available for inspection at
the Civic Offices, Wood Quay, Dublin 8 from Monday to Friday
(excluding Bank Holidays) between the hours of 09.00 to 16.30hrs
from Friday 16th October to Thursday 12th November 2009 (both
dates inclusive). Details are also available on Dublin City Council’s
website: www.dublincity.ie

Variations made to the Planning Authority within the above said period
