QUESTION NO.24

QUESTION: Councillor M. Ward

How is a village defined in South Dublin County Council and what is the process for an area to become a village?

REPLY:

In the County Development Plan, there is a specific Village Centre Zoning which defines the extent of Villages for Planning and Development Purposes (e.g. Clondalkin, Saggart, Rathfarnham, Templeogue, Lucan, Palmerstown and Newcastle etc.).  This Zoning is based on certain factors such as the County Retail and Settlement Hierarchy as informed by the National Spatial Strategy.
