The Ballymount LAP will provide guidance on the co-ordination and management of change as well identifying and addressing the regeneration of the area. The LAP will be consistent with the policies and objectives of the Development Plan.

The lands north of this between the M50, the Grand Canal and city boundary currently zoned EE to be considered for inclusion in this plan. The preparation of the LAP will be informed by the Naas Road Framework Plan (2010).
