Kiltiernan-Glenamuck Local Area Plan - Have Your Say
Pre-Draft Public Consultation
What is a Local Area Plan?
Dún Laoghaire-Rathdown County Council intends to begin the process of preparing a Draft Local Area Plan for the Kiltiernan/Glenamuck area.
A Local Area Plan (LAP) is a statutory document prepared by the Local Authority in accordance with the requirements of the Planning and Development Act 2000 (as amended). The LAP will consist of a suite of policies and objectives to guide the development of the area for a period of 6 years.
The LAP will set out a land use strategy for the proper planning and sustainable development of the area. It will consist of a written statement and maps indicating:
- objectives for the zoning of land for the use solely or primarily of particular areas for particular purposes, or
- other objectives in such detail as may be determined by the Planning Authority for the proper planning and sustainable development of the area to which it applies, including the objective of development of land on a phased basis and, detail on community facilities and amenities and on standards for the design of developments and structures.
Context & Location
The Kiltiernan/Glenamuck area is situated to the south of Dublin City and adjoining the foothills of the Dublin Mountains.
Kiltiernan/Glenamuck is identified as a 'New Residential Community' in the Core Strategy of the DLR County Development Plan 2022-2028. This can be seen on the Core Strategy Map.
Maps 9 and 13 in the County Development Plan 2022-2028 identify the proposed boundary for the Kiltiernan/Glenamuck Local Area Plan:

What can I comment on now?
The LAP plan-making process can involve up to three stages of public consultation:
- Pre-Draft Local Area Plan Stage (we are at this stage now);
- Draft Local Area Plan Stage; and, potentially,
- Material Alteration’s Stage (only if required).
We are now at the Pre-Draft stage of the plan-making process. A Pre-Draft Issues Paper has been published as part of the public consultation.
You are invited to submit your views on what you think the future Draft Local Area Plan should contain and what issues it should address.
What are the key issues?
The accompanying Pre-Draft Issues Paper gives a broad overview of the existing situation, opportunities and challenges in the area. It poses a series of questions under a number of topics to prompt ideas on the type of issues that the Draft Local Area Plan should address.
The topics considered in the Issues Paper include:
- Strategic Overview and Vision for the Area
- Climate Action
- A Sustainable Residential Community
- Kiltiernan Village
- Sustainable Movement and Transport
- Social, Community and Cultural
- Parks and Recreation
- Heritage and Conservation
