The County of South Dublin needs a future vision and plan for its growing communities, places, housing, jobs, sustainable transport and the delivery of services.

The South Dublin County Development Plan 2022-2028 will set out the land use framework to guide future development with a focus on the places we live, the places we work, and how we interact and move between these places while protecting our environment.

The policies and objectives in the next Development Plan will be important to all of us who live, work, visit and do business in South Dublin. We urge you to make your views known so that you can help shape your County. Visit The Development Plan website for more details.
